a downed butterfly in rain,
a stone cracked by fire,
a flower trampled by a child,
a memory shattered by rocky life ~
wear new bones again, come back
spirit, ghost, insight, inspiration’s
ignited promise that their might, just might,
be a way to keep these beautiful
in spite of fall, split, crush and loss
with
colors running in rain,
gems, birthing themselves after years of pressure,
seeds, spilling from center of footprint,
lead-glass windows opening up into joy ~

Ahhh...an incredible penning, my Friend. If only we could "wear new bones again"...but beauty once known is never lost, no matter how impermanent it may be...Wonderfully done...Good luck in the contest, Sweetie...

now this is wisdom to the soul. to be able to make something out of nothing, an act we all should remember, take negatives and turn them into positives in the motions of improvise adapt and overcome. This tells it as it is, an ever turning circle of life. pure magic if you keep believing. well done my friend.
should fair well in this contest.
