I Am a Butterfly

I wish I can go back , to where it all began. I should have said something, I should have taken a stand. I feel like a butterfly, but only in reverse...what I really am is LARVA, the beginning the first. My stories pretty simple, its not hard to define. Somewhere at some, strange moment. I transitioned. & lost in mind. I think I was falling IN LOVE, but didnt know, how to deal. I disguised myself, like the wings of a butterfly, this became my shield. I felt like a PUPA, not yet ready to open my wings....still growing and maturing , still not knowing. Anything If I was a butterfly kissed, I would tell myself this. There is no plan in life, we simply exist. We are all butterflys , Morphing everyday, Finding our own stories, in very unique ways. We cannot alter, what has already been, done We can only acknowledge, & learn from our past, and in the present, move on......

I Agree With The Lovely Ladies Below In That Yes, Butterfly Kisses Are Beautiful! Your Wonderful Painting Is As The Brushing Of Their Velvet Wings, Gentle And Soothing, Beautiful Cherie ~ Introspection Soul Searching Images In Picturesque Pleasing...If I Were A Butterfly This World A Cocoon, I Would Soar Unto The Stars It's Empty Shell Within My Wake. I Love Your Poetry And Shall Favour Your Splendours. Love, John
