Butterfly Affects

Appliqued creation of dreams 
reawakening illusions of the heart
creations my mind once made
soft satin wing flying so elegantly 
through the maze in my mind 

vibrant colours that thread 
time spots reminding me 
of all the things in life I have done
stitching time torn from me 
mending my soul from the dark 

cast stitches of dreams 
looking over the darkness 
whilst I stood upon a rainbow 
with my wings open wide 
ready to fly in the right direction

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
