A time comes when we lose our core,
after that we don’t care anymore.
Everything is jaded,
life seems very faded.
In desperation, we grab at golden rings,
only to find brass or gilt painted things.

Finally we cry, this just won’t do
in my soul, I’m not being true.
I lay my head on my arms to cry,
and that is when I heard a soft sigh.
“You blame yourself for being alive,
not even caring if you survive.

I don’t ask you to give up love for me,
only to fly, to ever be free.
Love is infinite as the stars above,
plenty of room for finding new love.
Take me as your sun, but share the rest,
time to leave that troubled nest.

What we have, will ever be,
all the way through eternity.
But don’t give up life, for you are there,
you know it is only for you that I care.
Fly, my butterfly, spread your wings,
for when you do, you make my heart sing.”

All the way through Eternity
But don't give up life, for you are there
You know it's for only you I care

Once again your words and your wisdom touch places deep...
you understand because you have lived it...
your kind heart and gentle spirit shine in every word of this....
you are the messenger....thank you for sharing your vision.
peace and poetry to you sweet keeper

Such words of love and understanding flow from you, Logan. I feel fortunate to hear them

There are many, many reasons why I like the sentiment of this piece, but the underlying reason is the current of hope that runs throughout...

well done Sir...

A time comes when we lose our core,
after that we don’t care anymore.

And coming back to life and caring can be so difficult. This is tender and beautiful and holds promise that the difficult is possible.
