Release these wings to fly

Missing image


Self preservation a protector,

Clipped wings fearful to see beyond,

to take that flight into a world that tethered,

an empty shattered heart,

Are you my believer,

My protection from the rain,

Can you see where we are to feed on the pollen,

that powdered my domain,

Are you willing to patch the lace threads,

sew them back again,

Offer comfort and the simplicity of a hug,

Watch me changing upon a metamorphic,

Rise from the chrysalis ,

and be your butterfly....

    To allow and be part of that change. To witness a new creation of beauty. A gift one really enjoys. And in the end beneficial to both. Another glorious write and thought. Excellent.

    You have encapsulated the metaphoric here of like the butterfly so we are to be beyond what we feel we are now..Leap tho clipped wings into that new experience..the metamorphosis of change. A delightfully well thought out and beautifully penned write! Bookmarked!

    A VERY BEAUTIFUL PIECE, INDEED - FROM A VERY BEAUTIFUL LADY!

    Are you my believer,
    My protection from the rain,
    Can you see where we are to feed on the pollen,
    that powdered my domain,

    OH, YES - just like Davy Jones from The Monkees - I'm a Believer - as well as a Daydream Believer, too! Another COOL poem form you that was filled with sadness, emotion, and the hope of soaring high into the sky one the euphoric wings of love!
    Peace & Love - as always, my dear friend!
    Earl.

    'Self preservation a protector,

    Clipped wings fearful to see beyond,'

    That part, above, is you Julie. No doubt about that. Fearful to take that first step, that first flight. Wondering what is beyond. Looking for someone to believe in. Your emotions were really strong within this piece.

    Well done Julie.

    Love

    ahhh my life in a nutshell. my feelings seemed to words upon this page. Mum your words mean more to me than you know.. but I think that you do know exactly those feelings. a butterfly simple beauty.. "clipped wings fearful to see beyond, to take that flight into a world that tethered and empty shattered heart" words that touch me deeply.. a new beginning for me, leaving a painful past behind,and moving forward once again. the butterfly will fly again someday but be much more guarded no longer care free.

    great poem words to live by

    you write beautifully Julie, it's as if you have a paintbrush in your hand ... You can be my butterfly if you wish, though something just as beautiful but less ephemeral would offer longer lasting connection, maybe a chameleon?
