Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Life Wings

Written: December 17, 2023
            __________________________________________

With progression of time
rebirth of a fresh leaf
It's time to ponder.
among all forthcoming
In oblivion 

Filling nefarious blanks
with lyrical creation
of paradox and myth.

Setting aside the years.
setting aside the fears.
throwing away melancholy
plethora of lonesome nights.

Spreading luminescent wings
as a newly-emerged butterfly
It burst out of a faint, sanguine cocoon.
boarding their final trip of a lifetime
between dream-scapes.

Paige Hind December 20, 2023 at 5:31 PM Wow, the last stanza describes your poetry- "a trip of a lifetime"- very beautiful.

Valsa George December 18, 2023 at 8:39 AM Your poem gives us hopes and dreams. All buried in oblivion will one day come back to life, spread their luminescent wings like butterflies emerging from cocoons and fly off from all confines. The last stanza obliquely states a joyous truth. They will make their final trip, "setting aside the years. setting aside the fears, throwing away melancholy, and the plethora of lonesome nights." Oh so beautiful.....!
