Butterly Wings

When my time comes to leave this world 

my spirit will fly on Butterfly wings...   

I will rise with the Sun 

and sing on the breeze of 

blossoming trees... 

I will ride rainbows through 

Jupiter and Mars and gather 

lavender stars with diamonds 

all aglow in the atmosphere... 

I will stop for Tea at the 

Milky Way Cafe where retired writers 

of romantic persuasion pen poems of

everlasting bliss and ecstasy in flights 

that defy explanation but paint moments 

where memories of past blend with the 

present in orchestrated  sonnets...

A beautiful hope and wish for the hereafter....certainly a wondrous voyage that would be!

If we all truly could choose our own hereafter voyage, unlimited by any constraints and just at the will of our own imaginations, then i am sure most of us would choose such a voyage as you have so poetically described.

Some lovely snippets of internal rhyme in this one , Pat, giving the entire piece a dreamlike, drifting quality fitting for its theme.

A very lovely musing. Wishful and graceful from beginning to end.

dear Doodley... I do know every baby is born with a Spirit ... it seems natural our Spirit will continue and we will become part of poetry that lingers in our heart and soul perhaps in ways we can only imagine... truly embraced by the light. Pat

[andrew mitchell]

A lovely write Pat, what a nice way to go and catch up! Knowing my luck if I were a butterfly I’d end up in a birds beak for supper!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew ... unless you have seeds on your Cap birds will only land on your shoulder and smile for a while. You will be gathering lavender Stars. Be looking for you st the Milky Way Cafe. truly, Pat

Dear lady Pat, you've converted death's often sad flight into one of gentle beauty - your words are truly butterfly kisses flitter-fluttering over glorious rainbows! You're always able to make even dull, rainy or snowy cold days into Summer delight! Thank you!

' ..and gather - lavender stars with diamonds - all aglow in the atmosphere... '

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Emma... have you listened to the performer named “Train” sing the song, “Drops of Jupiter” ? I believe you would enjoy the lyrics. He wrote the song originally for his Mother who had passed. Thank you for your delicate review. truly, Pat

[emmajoy]

PAt, thank you so much for telling me about Train and his song, will certainly listen. Thanks so much for telling me. xx

There is a rapturous victory over those cold edges of death rising from your journey of words. One feels the softness of the butterfly wings, yet their strength as well in carrying you across the universe in sweet songs.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear 🦉 Owl... your review is soft and tender and gives me the courage to believe that our Spirit will be in the atmosphere where the Sky is just the beginning. Thank you for your wondrous insight Wise one. truly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

dear John... your charming review brings warmth to our winter days. Yes, someday we will have Butterfly 🦋 wings and discover the world of planets and constellations. truly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

I hope dear Pat. A wonderful poem.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Reading this is like having a out of body experience through utopia.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Dale... perhaps when we leave it will be a Spirit-filled experience. We have ordered a book entitled “Imagine Heaven” by John Burke. It was recommended by my husband Roger’s Air Force Co-Pilot recently.
A true story of an out of body experience. It will be mailed to us next month. Thanks for reading my poem. Amazing reaction. truly, Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

I believe our spirits are capable of anything. I'll be seeing you, Pat...at the milky way cafe! ; )

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Kelly... now we are Poets annointed by your promise to meet us at the Milky Way Cafe. We shall fly as Eagles in the wind with Butterfly 🦋 wings. Truly, Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

I sure hope they serve coffee! ; ) Love ya, Pat!

[Patricia Wedel]

Yes, and your kisses will be the sugar and many will have the cream to place above the top of our ☕️ Coffee dear ♥️ Heart ((())) hugs, Pat

[Lorry]

And most importantly of all (at least in my head), we shall be free of not only the body that griunds us, but of time itself. It may still exist, but we shall no more be a slave to it than smoke in the air would.
It almost makes me look forward to it :)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lorry... we will emerge with spiritual abilities on wings of feathery flights where rhymes will float endlessly like a warm breeze beside a sea of blessings. truly, Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

Oh, Pat, this is so lovely. If only we would leave this earth on the wings of a butterfly and then have a magical place to write poetry in the hereafter! The imagery is so feathery soft in this one. I liked it a lot. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lydia... inspiration evolves much like a butterfly from a cocoon into a beautiful colorful sonnet of colors and flutters that are sensual in nature as life itself is pure rapture to be captured in the hereafter. Your review has left a silver lining for all of us to look forward to embracing as time goes by. truly, Pat

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Just beautiful if thats the way it can be i cannot wait to go- more like a wonderful joyride- wonderfully written🌹

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Kelly... your heart has captured the essence of butterfly 🦋 wings that will be our reward in breathless moments that carry us to places where the faces of loved ones will smile as before. Amen
