Afraid to Flutter~

She's like butterflies in the snow
ethereal beauty hidden in flurries
she peeks out at the view
always too meek to flutter
in her soul she's a wanton woman
alas, someone took her purity 
a blizzard that never passed
she keeps safely under wraps
hoping one day...just hoping

Even in the midst of the worst blizzard, your words my sweet friend warm the day and the heart. Passing through the flurries of doubt, the chill still wraps itself tightly about as her smile lingers somewhere inside where it is safe and warm. Frieda, your pen is filled with beauty this day and I am so thankful its ink has found my eyes. Beautiful, simply beautiful.

Wow silly me, I didn't even realized this one was published...thanks Jack, came as an utterly pleasant surprise, I need to get more sleep no doubt!

Light and aeriform the snow flurries fall and in between is a supernal happiness.....the butterfly. Too meek? Your words are lacy and gentle, but never meek. The first cut is always the deepest as the song goes and sometimes it feels like we will never love that way again, but the truth is, we can and we do. Keep your dreams alive and never stop hoping...because someday is just a turn of the calendar page away. Such a tender and poignant write, Frieda. The artwork you chose to accompany your words is gorgeous! Lydi**

What on earth would make you think this was about moi Lyidkey? haha, thanks...my calender got stuck! ;-)

[Lydia Shutter]

Well, of course many of us write pure fantasy....my assumption could be far off. Rip that calendar page right off and shred it. It has no right to hold you hostage! :)

[Frieda P]

I'm pleading the fifth. ;-)

[Lydia Shutter]

Better you should drink it and then say to hell with the calendar! LOL

[Frieda P]

LOL...a woman after my own heart. ahahhahaha
