Butterflies

Fluttering, gliding

specks of gold

Mesmerizing hope

Beautiful magnifiscence

Forest alive, a sky

littered with beauty.

A cloud passes by

and the forest shivers,

branches quiver, butterflies

alight and the sky

is speckled with orange.

Butterflies 3.b&c

One thousand, one million

fluttering wings

whispers alight, flashes

of color

Floating messengers of hope

vast expressions of levity.

The unbearable lightness of being

Lifted, transported

inhale- grounded

exhale- taken away (and vice versa)

Today I sit

and as I breathe in,

I come more into being

I dissolve, I am animal

My spirit, the spirit

of the forest lets itself be heard

Signals and messages come-

not unworldy, but as

cold, hard, intuitive truth.

As I exhale I allow myself

to become free. I am

reminded by the butterflies

I am my own blessing.

I am my losses, I am the void.

I am the beauty of a thousand butterflies.
