Be Free Like Bird, Butterfly

BE FREE LIKE BIRD, BUTTERFLY

The bird is free to fly, spreading its strong wings
soaring in the sky, flying away showing freedom,
power to take off and dare to pursue its course.
 
The butterfly is free to fly, spreading its wings.
Exquisite, elegant wings shimmering in the sun,
showing the beauty to be free and to live life.

Beautiful write, ah how we long to be free, a feeling that only birds and butterflies probably know best. I love the way you’ve written in such a descriptive manner. Pleasure reading this. Congratulations

Hi Marilene, I enjoyed viewing your beautiful write. I liked the liberating tone and vibe of this write. Butterflies are such lovely insects. I, too, look for the bright side of life. If one can see the good ( brighter side ) in the midst of such ugliness( bad), ones hope is still intact. Best wishes in the contest. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

Ohhh, Alexis, you always lift me up. Thank you. Sometimes, I feel like we live in a sad, sad world; but when you have faith, there is always hope for the better. Have a good evening.

It is wonderful to see the bright side, but birds and butterflies are prey and must be constantly on the alert. Look at the number of butterflies with a bit of wing gobbled up by a bird or insect! It is like watching a beautiful, talented actress or model being gobbled up by the industry . . . ...

I think that is what is wrong with me. Always looking at the bright side of life. Beautiful, talented actresses or models who are used or are prey to the mogul, powerful men, who can make you or break you. They succumb to those men, even with their talents and gifts cause they want to be a star when they have the power to say NO or say YES and take responsibility and accountability for letting it happen.

Thanks, Rama. I cannot fly; but I feel free when I dance, I feel free when I write and I feel free when I dress up/down. These mediums let my feelings out, lifting my spirit, freeing my soul.
