To be a Butterfly |

I wish that I could emerge from this silky shelter where I reside For no one sees the true me when I'm all curled up inside A flash of colour is all they see and maybe the tip of a wing But that is only a small piece who will see the real thing? I want to spread my wings without care and soar across the sky I wouldn't mind who stopped to watch as I delightedly flew by I want to be a butterfly fragile, but still taking flight I want my heart to sing its song as I sail at this new height Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself. |

This had such a flow and I enjoyed it twice. Butterflies flutter by A vision to behold Taking flight in the lite Toward the leaves of gold [This message has been edited by HM3 (edited 10-01-2001).] |

Hey! I'd like to share something with you...and I understand that moths and butterflies are two different entities..but your poem, reminded me of an anthem... http://lifesci.ucsb.edu/~haddock/poems/archy.html Tread carefully upon the flowers for easily are bruised the bowers of the blossoms opening and if a moth you find you be... beware the torpid heat of sting! Love ya lady...and a butterfly is just a moth with better sleeping habits I think! HUGS |

Slowly but surely, I believe you will soar. Lovely write here If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
