With gentle breath....
Did I escape
into winged being.
My life I breathed
into my sister soul
of amber and azure life
and butterfly shape.
I knew myself as I was meant to be
a creature of the wind and rain,
A moment's existence
that fluttered love's cry
in the stuttering of a heart beat.
In that moment,
I truly lived.

Awwww... once again, this is just so beautiful
Loving the title "Soul Flight" - It really catches me, and takes me soaring!
"With gentle breath....
Did I escape
into winged being" - Just one thing.. Let me show you...

I like the rhythm and flow (I like writing in that almost 'ragged' way, with short stanzas, too). I was thinking the poem might turn out to just describe 'the wonderful life of a butterfly' but the last stanza added some story and your feelings. Funny how a last stanza can change the poem so drastically...

Thanks Ephiphany!
Sometimes, I have the audacity to think that I'm growing as a poet, then I get slapped back to reality. 6 months here and I still love the routine.
