I once had a worm
It was torn
But I loved that worm
Because it was torn
I knew that there was a beautiful butterfly
Waiting inside that worm
I was going to nurture it
Until its transformation
I did all the things to care for a worm
Fresh leaves, warm soil
Have you ever pet a worm?
Encouragement is hard to give to a creature that exists only to slither about, eating what it can and defecating its gluttony
But I loved that worm
Because it was torn
I put so much of myself into that worm that i made one very big mistake
I forgot, butterflies fly away, and some worms, are just worms.

There is no explaining how the heart chooses.
Flight, grief and in the end realization of the truth
still belongs to the heart, no need for explaining.
Love becomes the doing, rightly.
