Butterflies Are Free To Fly

Butterflies Are Free To Fly
(Written by Josie Parrelli)

Sunlight shines through the window pane
I look and see my butterfly
The one that was wounded not so long ago
The beauty of your ray of colours
Your sunshine, your love, your beauty
Your eternal vibrancy emerging through
Through hurt you hid away
A muted wing a stunted speech
You hid your light away
Afraid to fly

Looking at the bloom entow
Wanting to be that butterfly you have always meant to be
You drew your curtains thinking you weren’t deserving of this
This life of goodness
I knew you would come back
To emerge and reach out when you where free
When you felt ready to fly

Butterflies Are Free To Fly
Flying high in the sky like a phoenix rising
Never hiding your eternal beauty away
Knowing it’s safe to look outside your home
I knew you would land we’re you’ve always meant to be
I’ve always seen it
I’ve loved you so long

Life is different when you see things through the pure eyes
The pure heart
The one of sincerity
As you put one foot in front of the other, retracing your steps
Learning to fly again 
You see the sunshine, you see the love, you see the truth
Your wing has healed, your heart emerged, your confidence soaring

You’ve removed the curtain
The wing has healed 
Your speech strong and concise
Speaking in a voice that will always be heard and never abandoned again

The Presence of Time

The Presence of Time
By Josie Parrelli

Where the clocks are beating
The journey starts
Time
Life is a sense of timing
Who we meet, who we see
What we do
Each step we take
Guides us upon our path 
Confused, we question
The clock keeps beating
With no rhythm or rhyme
That’s where the confusion has started
We fear the clock beating
As if it’s a mocking call
Eyeing your every move seeing your falls
Be still in the moment, the clocks are not your foe
They are beating
In your rhythm
Your time
For the clock beats differently for all of us
Our steps, our journey
The presence of time is your friend
Listen to it, hear the beats
Dance
For when the time hits 
You realise that the clock was always beating
In your time, your tune
Sing
For the presence of time is never to be feared 
Never to be questioned; never to be argued with
Listen to it, hear the beats
Hear the melody, sing the song
Strum the beats
For within the melody is where your destiny lies
Believe and trust
For the presence of time
Is a gift, unique to us
This is Your Life Purpose
For here is where your story is told

Heaven and Happiness

Heaven & Happiness
(Written by Josie Parrelli)

Hello stranger, did you think you wouldn’t see me again
Someone has been thinking of you, times have changed
I’m am ready
Although silent I know you’re ready too
Happiness is closer than you think
Feels like heaven
Heaven & Happiness

There is freedom within there is freedom together
I don’t want anything that’s not real it’s YOU I hold dear
Like the river to the sea I’ll always be
I know it’s only words, know that nothing’s ever too good
Every story needs to start from somewhere
Our story has already begun
Feels like heaven
Heaven & Happiness

Flow to the skies breeze
Break free like the butterfly spreading their wings for the first time
Take my hand and be free, love is the key that’s unlocked our hearts
Only we can do what must done, our time is now, we’ve come alive
Feels like heaven
Heaven & Happiness

New chapter open a new happy life begins
Don’t look back, love endures everything
We can float in the harmony
The new journey begins
Feels like heaven
Heaven & Happiness
