The face that I had loved so well lost in Nod's misty rivers as I looked long by the railing so utterly lost in her bowed serenely in larkish prayer. The changeling was unaware slipping through time's filmy chaplet wreathed by fireflies and melody she fell into inevitable chrysalis. Babyhood flickered in that last exhale. Furled smoke emerged ocean-eyed flutterby. I wept to wet her wings. |

I read this before, but was too upset by it to reply. It is very beautiful. Tears are flowing again for the beautiful, five-year old child and the reflection of her in the short-lived butterfly whose short life was cut even shorter. Hugs - Owl |
