Beautiful Mystery

How very unexpected was the thing that came to me, and not that long ago as a request! It made me want to sing for joy although I do not even know what yet is to unfold as I await its outcome. Something that might touch one’s heart is being born; I’ve yet to know its fate. But still I thrill to know I’ve had a part in something beautiful. Like a cocoon, it’s going to emerge – a butterfly. I hope to see it touch the stars and moon in glitter night as it soars to the sky. I dare not dream. This special thing for me I choose for now to keep a mystery. Sept. 24, 2018 for John Hamilton's Beautiful Mystery Contest N/A

This is really nice Andrea. I love the meter and the flow of this piece. I tried to capture a similar feeling with mine but failed miserably. Much luck in the contest.

Capturing the moment of birth's mystery! Could be a metaphor. Beautiful is right!
