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 SkyWatcher - 05-05-17 note any and all repetition is intentional this expression is for the art of poetry

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 words sting like a bee and your lines float like a butterfly, a woman to be reckoned with for sure. Well chosen words come alive in the reading and we cannot suppress a smile at the descriptive narration. Well written. Emile.

Lisa, never say that about your intellect.OK? I have dined with ambassadors& premiers, worked for President Nelson Mandela's govt, so except for Mandela, U r worth hundreds of times more: heart, compassion, diplomacy & love.I like your modesty as appreciate Jan's forte in Limericks (too badwy for me as pastor).I'll join a few.Your example of a follower of Jesus shines. Your intellect & poetry have power. Some rhyme schemes you use R hard to do. I admire much & say little.ShalomGod bless U&US&USA

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."

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.

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

Hello Alexis. Thank you very much. I also love butterflies for what they stand for. Thank you for mentioning the repetition. I hope it was appropriately executed. Your generosity I do not take lightly. I'm pleased you enjoyed the entry. I just came from seeing your "Butterfly and The Moth" Be proud of that entry story and also the emotive factor. The story reaches any heart. 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.

How exquisitely expressed Lisa. The magic of life lives in the butterfly, which may not be fully seen by the eye but is felt in the heart:) Amitiés

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. :)
