About This Book
In this enchanting book, Brian Rea (the beloved artist of the New York Times column "Modern Love") illustrates Brooke Smith's poignant poem about the healing power of creativity. A woman in the midst of grief discovers a wonderful secret: she can see words on the wings of butterflies. And these words inspire her to compose rejuvenating stories of love. Heartfelt poetry and charming illustrations combine to make it a touchstone of solace for anyone in need of hope.

Artist MonographsShe decided she needed a place
to rest, and walked out
into the meadow.
One,
two,
three
holes torn in a heart
that had seen
better days.
She came for light.
She came to write.
(how we hope to understand her)
Heavy air a fragrant potion
willing her to breathe.
Tall grasses, brilliant, bending
soft breeze
she fell to her knees.
Too tired to walk too far to recover,
to look
or search
anymore.
(what can you see when you let yourself be?)
She sat still.
Watched
as a butterfly
landed on a reed
jutting over her head.
Markings, of purple and
turquoise and gold.
Natureâs etchings had always amazed her.
On the wings were faint lines
curved, bent and crooked.
They looked like letters.
And then, became words.
She read each one quickly.
(they could all disappear)
Without pausing.
Not pausing out of fear.

GOODBYE
Wait.
Words are not...
