Found My Butterfly Wings

My life wrapped up in so few words A paradox of convoluted simplicity There’s basically what came before~ then what came after you With you intrinsically at the core the heart of my life All in all it’s been one long winding scenic roadtrip With polychromatic memories and treasures amassed All culminating now into this one bubbling cauldron I am pressed by a sense of urgency to make up for lost time Once the soul of an artist trapped in a butterfly without wings I now feel whole and compelled to creativity and leave my legacy AP: 2nd place 2020 Submitted on September 27, 2019 for contest STORY OF MY LIFE IN TEN LINES sponsored by SILENT ONE - RANKED 2ND

Well done, you say a cauldron, I say you are like a geyser that spews out loveliness when your heart fills up. You wrote in ten lines but many more lines could be written about the artist called LINE
