Life of a Butterfly: Poems and Short Stories

One day we will go on a timeless journey
Mortal selves will matter no more
Flawless as droplets of dew
Purified by eternal flame
One day we will go on a timeless journey
No boredom anymore...a sweet liberation
Will we meet there...my love?
And would you hold me again...my love?

When love transcends the here and now, the touched and the seen, it becomes universal and these lines from Mireille Bitar s Life of a Butterfly best express the sense of a higher self throughout this book. Life of a Butterfly is a journey in time, in place, through love, pain, motherhood and spiritual healing. The photos that accompany each poem or short story are from the author s collection and were carefully selected to add a visual dimension to her work. Many photos are contributed by Malak Bitar.
