mulberry trees and butterflies

channeling 
my thoughts
towards 
earth star chakra
I stand 
rooted
feeling safe

it is fall

my thoughts
linger around
sadness
like Monarch
butterflies
clustering on
mulberry trees

preparing 
for migration

a thought 
here and there
pass
I mind my
breath 
trance-like
peace envelopes

metamorphosis

thoughts 
return, I 
see again, my
mind sashays
down glittered
cluttered runway
as always

cycle begins

The turn of everything..The burn of knowledge Maybe we are 'unwilling to loose?' Too much When all is to gain.' Yet we seem entangled in The strain? How can I refrain.? Discern when Loss will change its name.' Good reading here Thriveni all blessings.'

Your lines kept me focused on the scene as if I was watching you from caterpillar into a beautiful Monarch, and watched you fly away.
