“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) lux vitae “Mirrors in Your Eyes”/ Soundpool https://youtu.be/y1qDj8BzkWI “Butterflies”/ Soundpool https://youtu.be/aoI3X4Km4io “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." butterflies/symbolism https://www.uniguide.com/butterfly-meaning-symbolism-spirit-guide the butterfly effect. the domino effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect

The first time i saw nature's reflection of spiritual ascension was when i found out that caterpillars literally dissolve in their cocoon before emerging in a splendid butterfly. It's an image that i cling to now as i am undone. Thank you for your beautiful words :-)

"The Wind and The Sky" by Becky Forbes; "Silent Rainbow" by Becky Forbes. I love these two poems of yours, out of the majority I have read so far this morning. No doubt I will come across others that will elevate.

we all come undone at some point, some unravel in the darkest cocoons to regenerate, to reveal our true nature. I took some time this morning upon waking to read your thoughts and feelings through the beautiful poetry you have written. I think these two quite profound and beautiful and I have left my comments for you. xx

“In Hopi lore, the butterfly is the symbol of man’s spiritual transformation. ‘At the level of existence, when it crawls on Mother Earth in the form of a caterpillar, it only sees what is right in front of it,’ Grandmother explains. “‘There comes a time in the development when it puts itself into a little cocoon and enters the darkness. In this darkness, it completely breaks down. During that time a great change takes place…”

When close we don't clearly see what truly lives beyond our reach but if we soar into the open skies endless possibilities soon arise
