i’ve learned to
be gentle with that part of
me that takes it in so deeply
and holds on to it for far too long,
that’s also the part of me that loves
like an awakening and knows what it’s like
to trace a soul in my fingertips
– butterflies rising
‘like an awakening' is a poem by the author butterflies rising that can be found in her poetry book ‘wild spirit, soft heart'.
