I aloft in my own place temper the cause for flight dusting slowly of myself yet still I echo larger wings beat too high fling myself to tatters and recover through a touch of garden lush Can a wisp of lifebeat possibly know sunlit skies for long? Could I flight sifting of myself unhurried weaving to the pulse of normal life? ...not what my wings were born for... A wingflit out of time I fly a wandering creature searching for petalled rest yet too sensate of mystery for flowered peace I unchained defy the living of my kind 23.12.99 ...I am not a painter, I am a poet...

Severn - On softest flight across the yard of petals yet to find you flit and come to light gently in my mind Little butterfly of brilliant blue flutter by and as you do Touch my heart continue your flight Little blue butterfly on your cycle through life Love ~Marge~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Severn -- the word beautiful somehow is not good enough to describe this. Be gentle in your flight so as not to tatter those beautful wings... Marge -- why in reply do you post such a beautiful message. It deserves a post of its own. |

Kamla - Back to the top with you little blue butterfly ... you are too lovely off the page, to fly. You are inspiration on flitting wing .. your lovliness fluttering with touch of spring. (*Thanks RS ... I did just that.) ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

fly high, defy deny chains only chain when bound by grief by hate by design you are the maker the chooser and the wind fly free fly high just fly in the winds of chance of change may you find a petal of rest for your weary heart [This message has been edited by Christopher (edited 12-23-1999).] |
