Acceptance

)!(

 

I painted a butterfly’s wings

because its colors

clashed with my garden

 

It died,

so did my garden

Don't try to change someone to be like what you want, love them for who they are or you could lose everything.

For such a short piece, you required a lifetime of thought and contemplation to achieve what I'm sure will become an obvious thought to me one day, eventually... maybe... but I wouldn't hold your breath... because old sometimes becomes stubborn... So I'm told 😊

[willweb]

Thanks my friend, old is just a bunch of year you carry in your pocket and even if you change your pants, they are still there. Funny, I don't feel that old but my pocket sure is full.

[Lorry]

They sure weigh me down though 😊

........ in briefest terms, this is excellent 🦋

Thanks my friend.

A deeply true message in a wonderful poetic form.
Acceptance of self and others is a must to navigate this harsh world.
Like they say to be true to oneself and be understanding of others.
I love it.

Thanks so much again Sami

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome muchly.

Why would anyone want to change something so beautiful and delicate. I reckon they got their just desserts. Lost out all round. A meaningful piece of brevity will. Hope your Wednesday has been a good one.

the delicate connection Between a butterfly's wings and a garden's complexion. As colors clash, a sad fate befalls, Both butterfly and garden, their essence withdraws. A poignant reminder of life's transient nature, Expressed through words that resonate and capture.

You are right... we must accept our love the way they are. We must accept the reality and fact that, nobody will love us back the way we do. This ruin everything.

Such a beautiful review of my little message poem. I am so happy you stopped by and as always, I smile when you do.

[Dave Brown]

a sorry little undertaking
I'd say you got what you deserve, you nasty nasty man, with even the garden condemning your actions in the only way it could.
The whole scenario is simply shocking and your area will henceforth be registered in the butterfly, 'no fly zone!!'

[willweb]

I am ashamed.
