Intuition

There is a butterfly

With wings of glass

Blue as the ocean or

The heavens when

Uncovered by clouds

There is a butterfly

With an icy stare

That instantly pins me

To her heart

And with her

A twinkling sound as

She flutters before me

Whilst leaving a trail

Of crystals amid

A snowy landscape

For me to behold

And carefully tread

As she pours a whisper

Into the air for

The wind to carry

Forward and be felt

Reminds me of a series of paintings - perhaps miniatures, set to show how to.. live in a place where emotions can be true to their source, how they feel and what they find gentle in their lives. Gentle writing in fact, subtly colourful.. opening a window to let in some air.. perhaps.

I really enjoy your interpretation. It's a refreshing view for me. Takes me somewhere I haven't been. Thank you so much for your review.

May I explain via your wording: glass wings; cloudless blue sky; icy stare - alluring; twinkling trail of crystals; snowy landscape - trail of foot steps to guide perhaps; whispers into the air - to beckon. Different scenes, different intentions?

I 100% agree with my fellow writer Scott Metro review.... respect

A glimpse into your lovely heart.
The real beauty is not in the butterfly..but in the describer.

Admiration.

Thank you kindly x I believe we all possess that beauty of the butterfly, an inner guiding voice. Some of us only forget to feel, and listen.

[Scott Metro]

Indeed....

I just think you are that beautiful butterfly Michelle, your intuition lays right before you... ;) and is so great, always. You have feelers... a great serene metaphor here, whimsical winter beauty. Thank you dear.

i really like the "butterfly with an icy stare that pins me"

the tables turn as the insect pins me---not to a board, a piece of wood, but to her heart...

butterfly flutterby.

a perfect blend of images and metaphors in this piece.

[Michelle N. H.]

I so appreciate that. Thank you very much :)
