Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Image In My Mind

I heard a monarch butterfly was floating on a leaf in a puddle
I thought of how beautiful that must have been to see!
And the light sailing on a leaf like that, feeling so free!
Some days, obligations and things pile up, freedom seems hard to find
But I will always seek it out, just like the butterfly resting for a while
	       - I will keep this image in my mind  -

Sandra Adams October 5, 2019 at 2:07 PM remember that butterfly once hid in a cocoon carrying his burdens too before the transition to a beautiful butterfly... you...we all have some weight, we hide sometimes, but other times we are all free, in the light....beautifully penned Heidi...i love this and the image you painted!
