On Butterfly Wings

Folder: 
Odes/Tributes

Trapped

no more,

in this cocoon of life,

she flies...

unfettered,

wings unfurled

to their fullest glory,

and pain mars not

and shall never again,

her beautiful soul.



She basks in this,

her new-found

freedom,

never again

to hide in shadows,

she now glides

right past the sun,

in defiance

and child-like glee.



No more,

shall her falling tears

touch the dirt of earth,

muddied by affliction.

No,

now, they float-

float upon whispered breezes,

and transform,

into sweet showers of

life-giving rain.



And every time,

you feel that sprinkling,

and every time,

you see a butterfly,

think of her,

remember her

and remember too...

she is finally free.





On butterfly wings...

...she is free............
