Soar Like a Butterfly

These thoughts of mine do not behold Let them soar high like wings befold Observe them come then watch them go I ain't nobody 's but my own These arms of mine not to be bought These lips of mine not to be sold Nor is my mind to be possessed or is this spirit to be undressed Let me be me Just let me be I ain't nobody's but my own Do not preclude raindrops from falling Through cascade paths I need to walk I need to rest where children sing Where gale winds shift against demands Against each mountain and every glass jar which traps these butterflies within my heart . P.S: This is a fiction poem ' Soar Like A Butterfly without being captured in the jar of this world 's demands.'

Yes! Pure Charma! I watched Dragonflies quietly in my vegetable garden today, they are a very curious creature, and if I remain still, they hover close to talk to me...mostly Common Whitetail Dragons and a few Damselflies too, tho I have not discovered YET how to communicate with them, as they are quite secretive! Soon, the Monarch Butterflies will come, and they will rest on my fingers if I am peaceful, love, jimbo

I get your image - the horrid sight of a beautiful thing trapped in a glass jar. You have a fine and unusual way of presenting it. daver

I never understand why people get annoyed by the sound of children. It is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. This is a beautiful Declaration of Independence!

We should never let anyone tell us who we're supposed to be or what we're supposed to do. I'd rather let people walk away from me, than cater to their demands. This is a beautiful poem, from a beautiful soul.

I like the use of the butterfly as a metaphor for freedom of choice. Not to be bought/sold possessed/undressed. We all need be ourselves...lovely Charma
