A Butterfly's Transformation In POETRY Edmond Frank

POETRY IS OFTEN CALLED the language of emotion. This poetry was written into the original manuscript of the novel, The Courage of a Butterfly, a book about surviving---coming back from the brink of death. Where does one go when one has seen the end of a life he never really lived. And also, has realized that this person dying was not someone he liked or respected.

THE

BOOK ITSELF WAS REWRITTEN in

story form and the poems were published herein as a companion book to the novel. Emotions? Yeah, his were squirting out like explosive diarrhea---in

poetry. Just so, some poems are hard to look at. Others are about the magnificence of one's very soul. All are about an honesty you likely have never

experienced nor ever will again.

YOUR SOUL ORCHESTRATES your life to give you the lessons you need for you to evolve. Given that insight, what is this book doing, being here in your life?

LIFE AND A LITTLE TIME is all we are given in coming here to this Earth. But if not based on honesty and truth, life means nothing. Given the precept, we live our lives by---taught to us by those who didn't know the truth---you now have an opportunity to see life from a completely different perspective, one that other people simply cannot see. These poems are about looking at life in the light of the Spiritual Laws-the simple truths of life.

AND HONESTY? That takes a kind of courage few people possess. It is so much easier to believe the lies of our society. They relieve us of all the responsibilities associated with honesty-yes, much easier to play the BLAME GAME than to be the responsible party in one's life.
