unpinned (carol lynn pearson)

I hope that humans
Never pin down
Love or God.

Things pinned down
(Like butterflies)
Lose something
(like life).

I can go with progress
I am grateful
For a long life span
For medicine and computers
And I'm glad to know
The layout of the
Galaxy.

But let some
Mysteries win.

Let love and God be free
As a million monarchs
To touch our faces
With bright wings
And leave wonder in our eyes
As they rise
From the hand held pin.
