Unfurling Allison Beery

A poem is a flower bud - such a small package, yet it holds so much in every petal, every word. When the outer layer unfurls, the old, familiar scales fall from your eyes, and everything is transformed. Perhaps that is what beauty is: a transformation. I hope these poems will transform for you simple things into small wonders, that they'll brush the scales from your eyes so every ordinary thing becomes extraordinary. I hope these poems remind you that there is hope growing everywhere, even in the hardest things. And I hope they'll turn your heart to seek the One who is Beauty itself. Find yourself a cozy spot and some relaxing music, and let the u n f u r l i n g begin.
