A Moth Turned Butterfly A moth of bliss turned butterfly A wisp that kissed a memories sigh She turned the world from old to new. By hew and color of her view. But She seemed a flighty moth to me Until I saw her poetry And then she turned the brightest star That I have seen the sky so far And It turned the darkness that I store And opened up my dreamers door The moth that turned a butterfly Had swept me up into the sky. Then I felt a soaring in my goal And saw a light. Light up my soul. She sent a wind within a sigh To lift me high so I could fly. While Her gentle hands reset my keel To set a seal and make it heal. |

Sy--How did I miss this twinkle in your eye...a poem to the moth become a butterfly, for with the blooming of your words, I think she sees that her wings are not seen but heard. Thank you for this, Sy...and Janet Marie, I loved your reply. ![]() |
