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.

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.....!

dear Sotto--I always enjoy poems and stories about rebirth and transformation. Life seems to be an experience of never-ending change and transformation--one you've captured with your imagery. I especially liked the last verse, so inspirational and hopeful. Enjoy your weekend ahead, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara
