Butterflies
“Butterflies”
Sun shines its burning
star light into mirrors
reflecting upwards
captured and carried
the whispering watchers
observe poetic candour
in the fluttering wings
love molecules now
set in motion
are felt not seen
to heartbeats dancing
freeing the hurricanes
of your mind
romancing
what comes from chaos
and the dominoes tipped
by the love affair
with disaster dissolving
to one with those
much higher
otherworldly beings
we become
to be
unseen as we were
through mirrors
reflecting upwards
captured and carried
we are seen
for what we are
the messengers
of Love -
now seen
(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

“Butterflies are the souls of caterpillars, they are borne from the inside out, they last for only a short while to start their hurricanes, to leave their beautiful imprint on their new world, before they leave to regenerate again in another place; if one butterfly could flutter its wings to set molecules of air in motion, to move other molecules of air, to eventually start just one hurricane - just imagine what a legion of butterflies could achieve with their vibrations raising each other and all that is good in ‘being’ to higher levels to transform each other. Through chaos, great change occurs. It gets worse before it gets better. Butterflies are fragile, but they are the souls of caterpillars, strong enough to wave their messages of rebirth through the air they dance and breathe. Don’t get me started on Bees. Love. Joy. Be. “
(Lovejoy-Burton)
"Butterflies are deep and powerful representations of life. Butterflies are beautiful and have mystery, symbolism, and meaning and are a metaphor representing spiritual rebirth, transformation, change, hope, and life. The magnificent, yet short life of the butterfly closely mirrors the process of spiritual transformation and serves to remind us that life is short. Many cultures associate the butterfly with our souls. The Christian religion sees the butterfly as a symbol of resurrection. Around the world, people view the butterfly as representing endurance, change, hope, and life. There is no doubt the butterfly has significant meaning to us."
