Dancing With Butterflies

"dancing with butterflies" as day breaks with promises butterflies gracefully shadow me causing me to be a ballerina dancing effortlessly by the sea everlasting is this moment of light forever engraved with freedom giving me a breath of oxygen holding the thought to carry on I enlist and follow the dream joining beauty of butterflies knowing they will show the way leading to extraordinary senses making the sun shine and moon glow never a hesitation or missing beat only open windows with possibilities placing my soul alive and free quietly all butterflies fly away resting knowing my spirit is whole sprinkling their grace upon me taking with them darkness and pain SkyWatcher 11-01-23

your poem was exquisite and captivating, Lisa. I believe you've captured the symbolic essence of butterflies beautifully. These words touched my soul: butterflies gracefully shadow me causing me to be a ballerina dancing effortlessly by the sea. I've loved butterflies since I was a child. My dad raised monarchs and I learned a deep appreciation for them. Even now when I see a butterfly, I believe my Pop is nearby taking away my darkness and pain. Wonderful. Will fav this one, hugs, Sara
