What I Saw Today

It seemed to me that the world had suddenly come alive, and despite the ache in my softened muscles and the hunger gnawing at my belly. A butterfly rode the wind uneasily and bobbed like a buoy on a rough sea in the wake of a typhoon, and it’s movements were alive in my head once again. I heard, felt, and saw so many words, sentences, and stories in that instant from that poor butterfly’s unstable bout that I knew the stifling silence had been banished from my mind.
