Hope From a Butterfly

I saw a butterfly in the sky from a memory a tear came to my eye through transcendence it had arrived it wasn’t in any way contrived our oneness with loved ones passed will always last the truth is no longer masked we are one the die is cast life is good when understood through the Light nothing can hide from it not even night I love the life we share in this incarnation I’m grateful to have been born in this nation hear my voice it’s freedom of voice that has peeked our imagination allowing the further development of this manifestation and yes in this time of our greatest despair they’re people everywhere that are courageous and still care the hating must stop we need a correction our hope lies in moving in a new direction

Even when we feel that everything is wrecked, there are people who can brave all difficulties and who really care to see things righted. They can bring about correction. A poem of hope, so beautifully written, dear Bill

Thanks for the visit and comment, my dear friend. Sara had shoulder surgery on the 9th of Dec so I'm not on the soup very often right now. with Physical Therapy twice and week and doctor's appointments, I'm pretty busy. I'll be back regularly in January. Have a Merry Christmas, Valsa. Hugs, Bill

Hear hear my friend - never a truer word spoken, but how does one correct such evil, no amount of compassion or emotion will move such a person, it is like looking at a soul with no heart, perhaps a miracle is needed, our united global hope must lead us in a new direction. Excellent poetry, Hugs, blessings, Jennifer

I agree it's a global problem, Jennifer. We must all start where we are and help people that or seeking truth understand we are all looking for the same peace and happiness. Hugs, Bill

I do believe cardinals, butterflies and other things bring us messages from our loved ones " our oneness with loved ones passed will always last" so this made perfect sense.

I do too, Caren. If not, I have a tremendous amount of coincidence happening in my life. Bill

I, too, love life in this incarnation. Grateful for the butterflies I see, for they remind me of my departed father whom I dubbed the butterfly whisperer. Yes, our nation needs more caring in these tumultuous times. Thanks for penning another superb poem.

Hi Bill; well said. People need to say no to war, and allowing themselves to be led like sheep. " our oneness with loved ones passed will always last the truth is no longer masked we are one..."

They will know us by our love, not how mean or powerful we are. Thanks for commenting, Joe. Have a great day! Bill

Even Jesus asked His disciples to pray while in the Garden of Gethsemane. He surely taught us that prayer is very important, I always think of His lesson to us. May Our loving Father hear our prayers.

Thank you, B.J. for your comments. I do pray every day. Sometimes God allow to prayers to manifest and other times they are answered in ways we may not understand. He sees the big picture/everything. We only see in glimpses. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

If only people knew the power of prayer, we would not be in this mess.
