...just go ask a butterfly

_it takes courage to fly_

Life is merely as an elusive butterfly 

 transforming from enclosed cocoons  

to magnificent creature in mere breaths,

beauty hence transformation of utter charms

understated in its timely grace

 

Change is inevitable,  a necessary  foible

there'd be naught transformation, no evolution

life changing cycles sustain our humanity

fighting this phenomenon proves futile at best, 

flight's expansion a means of transfiguration

'

If  kindly flutterby's would share their music's mystery, 

how nectar'd  it is to merge from obscurity,    yet they

hold their wing'd poetic secrets of freedom close at heart 

one can only learn from their unseen license to flourish

just go ask a butterfly....

I think we are all butterflies, you know that your title pulled me in as soon as I saw it and thank goodness I came in to read this, your poetry gives me much hope and many smiles, smiles are needed at this point in time and I can always rely on you... Mama F, you've done an amazing job.

This poem just spoke to me, loudly I may add and my goodness, the message is out standing. You, my gorgeous mother, are a gorgeous butterfly and your wings will carry you anywhere you wanna. I have a one way ticket to Belize, you in?? :-)

Stunning, flip flops & that jazz! xoxo
