All That I Am

"all that I am"

what you see is all that I am
living life in a world unknown
unknown to you and the unseen
such diamonds in the sky
such rainbowed bubbles that float
float always in a world for me
I'm a butterfly of a different color
a colored pearl veiling shades of pink
perhaps you somehow can't see
when you find the truth and life
a life that belongs and stands tall
you will then finally see all that I am

any and all repetition is intentional

White Wolf Date: 5/7/2017 8:00:00 PM Full of such beauty and great imagery, Lisa! 'Perhaps you somehow can't see.' Reminds me of the Blackbird! Apparently, the female sees the male as an iridescent blue! Nature is quite fascinating, to say the least! I thoroughly enjoyed this entry!

Your intellect & poetry have power. Some rhyme schemes you use R hard to do. I admire much & say little.ShalomGod bless U&US&USA Login to Reply Lisa Ricci Date: 5/6/2017 6:12:00 AM Morning Anil.

May it be a good day for one and all. Stay well. Shalom.

Anil Deo Date: 5/5/2017 6:44:00 PM Lisa, FIRST you deserve 10, 100, ok a million. But here's a down-payment of 7. I'll pay the balance when you build a home for the "butterfly of a different color." I'll be trying to find that variety of Monarch, swallowtail, or even Viceroy or Queen Butterflies. My preference would render thee "Red Admiral." Shabbat shalom famous poetess driving other poets crazy! Dr.Deo Login to Reply Lisa Ricci Date: 5/6/2017 4:25:00 AM Oh My Goodness. Good Morning Anil. What a way to start the morning and day. Thank you ever so much. It's my hope my work and I are deserving of your words. Anil, if there are times I don't say much on your entries its because I couldn't possibly have a smart response to match your intellect and understanding. Just know you are informed advised and have the intellectual understanding of your words and your belief. Always remain you. The Lord knows and sees.

Alexis Y. Date: 5/5/2017 12:08:00 PM Hi Lisa, What a beautiful and lovely piece. I love butterflies because too me they symbolize "being free". The repetition in this write gave more depth to a well written piece. I really enjoyed the read. A without a doubt seven:-) Alexis PS, I wrote a piece entitled "Butterfly and The Moth. When you have the time read it and let me know what you think. Reply Login to Reply Lisa Ricci Date: 5/5/2017 12:39:00 PM Hello Alexis. Thank you very much.

It speaks of life and of love. I'm sorry I missed it when it was posted. Have a wonderful night and thank you again.

Anne-Marie Coreggia Date: 5/5/2017 9:47:00 AM How exquisitely expressed Lisa.

Chris Green Date: 5/5/2017 9:32:00 AM Lisa, I know a good optometrist if they need one because if they can't see the beauty of this butterfly floating around them, then they need glasses. This poem is by far one of my favorites from you. I love how it feels to read, I love the flow of the thoughts and visions and I love the message. Such a heart touching piece that I had no problem at all seeing. :) Login to Reply Lisa Ricci Date: 5/5/2017 11:35:00 AM Oh Chris. I don't know what to say. Yes, I do.
