Budleia Tree

Missing image

A vague memory it may well be
Yet it travelled with me constantly
I saw no colours smelt no scent
But that memory for me was meant
There was a time were i could breathe
I flew up high around the trees
I felt the air beneath my wings
It carried me to brighter things
remembering once I lived this way
Is what kept me fighting through each day
I sit and watch the world go by
A broken little butterfly
For there has been no life for me
Since they took away my special tree
The air got thick, I began to choke
Surrounded in black sadness smoke

They chopped down our own life souce

Why? Not pleasing to their eye of course

But I was saved by that memory
That travelled with me constantly
Reminding me the smoke will clear
Happiness will replace the fear
For I am meant for better things
Else why such beauty in these wings
Alas the time has come for me
Mankind re-discovered the budleia tree.

  • welcome to allpoetry!!!

    hello Kathrin ,
    I love how the poem displays more then one emotions in such a few lines.

    Its as if reading a story I think that takes some talent to do!

    from depressing and sad to happy and hopeful!
    You have a way with words
    good luck on your future poems and good job on this one!
