Soft As Cashmere


"Soft as Cashmere"

The memories 
soft as cashmere
wrap their warmth
around me 

if I could just 
feel through the feels 
what time through truth 
revealed

betrayal 
is like a breeze
that chills the bones
and never leaves

the door 
is harder to open 
after years and years
the heart still rustles

crackling 
a fire within 
lit with broken 
pieces of trust 

burning 
words
forging 
swords 

ashes to ashes 
dust to dust

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)

"Butterflies symbolize a deep and powerful representation of life. They are beautiful and have mystery, symbolism, and meaning and are a metaphor representing spiritual rebirth, transformation, change, hope, and life. The magnificent yet short life of butterflies represents the process of spiritual transformation and serves to remind us that life is short."
