~Butterfly effect~

_this is not goodbye, love you to the moon and back, miss you more than life itself ♥♥

You can't flutter by, 

  and not affect everyone

   you've so graciously touched,

heart of gold wrapped 

   in ethereal veiled wings of strength

we gazed upon your emboldened flight

     right from the beginning of time

blustering storms now overshadowed,

     cast in your onward flight

yet, so bittersweet you've risen

     above the ashen earth's rebound

destined for skies of brilliance

   free from ambivalence's rhyme

awash in your splendor of glory

  overcoming in your wayward graces,

what may be is still a mystery

   to all of those who believe,

tomorrow's whispering promises linger

       on a zephyr quietly awaiting ~

~you can't flutterby and not affect everyone you've touched~

“It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.” 
― Rose Kennedy

Oh Frieda, of all of your poetry, you have written for, or about your sister, this one is very special, in the way, you have written the perfect eulogy for her. I hope, when my time comes, I have someone like you, to tell the world, who I was, as a person, a friend and a sister, to them. Thank you, for sharing this poem, with us.

You're back, thanks for your kind review therisa, so nice to see you again.

Your welcome, and thank you, Frieda. Been struggling with my latest anti-depressant/anxiety med, since mid-June, which has left me, apartment bound, with severe agoraphobia and anxiety attacks.

[Frieda P]

Oh that doesn't sound good, chin up and hang in there therisa.

[therisa]

It isn't, Frieda, but has provided a lot of poetry, written over the past 5 weeks. Not sure, what to do with these poems. To hide them, in my don't post file or share a limited few, with the greater world.

[Frieda P]

You should share them, there's always someone out there who can relate, I think poetry makes us feel less alone in our darkest hours.

[therisa]

Sigh, have 96 poems to transcribe first, before I can do anything with them. Not a task, I'm looking forward to. We'll see, Frieda.

Another strong and beautiful poem. :)

"You can't flutter by, 
  and not affect everyone"-- the brilliance of the 1st two lines easily prophesies of the brilliance of the rest of the poem. Artfully worded(as ever!) I really enjoyed this today, and I hope to see you back soon.

Rose Kennedy was right. And you have conveyed this splendidly.

This is poignant Frieda Her imprint is everywhere you look and the pain is deep but I love how you capture her beauty and know her love flutters brightly around you. Thinking of you.
