It's hard to put into words, but I relate to this very deeply. I need to listen to the breeze more often and accept what is, and try to steer clear of the disjointed rantings that many people have had to endure from me in the past. Yet there are elements of positivity that break through, the notion of understanding, even if it's from our environmental surroundings...it's not like you can always count on people for that understanding anyway haha Thankfully I find exceptions among my friends here. Nicely done Lydi :)

Butterflies only live 6 weeks, but they make the most of that time. We would do well to learn from them, no? Thank you so much, Steve. Lydi**
Lydi my friend, I have tried to reverse the earth's rotation enough times to know...it just doesn't work. Accepting what we find and trying to make the best of it seems to be the easiest way to go. Very nicely penned.

Understanding "what is" is not always easy or even possible, Lydi. "calm acceptance" is definitely the way to go. Great poem, very wise and written with your astonishing flair for imagery.
