where the sky and horizon meet

0 posted 2001-10-01 03:43 PM

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.
Thank you for having the courage to share yourself so that I can too

=================================

seems to me youre well on your way...
this is lovely Krista ... both in its poetic content and its message of intend.
We all eventually find our wings ...its a continuois process of growth.
well done poetess butterfly

We're all feeding our lonely ... like it might go away,
Like the doors of heaven will swing wide ... if we just find the right words to say.

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

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!

There is such delicacy in the wings
but such strength in the determination~

Lovely, poetess~
