The Butterfly

Ameljor

Does the butterfly
 
Having left its cocoon nearby
 
In the shadow of silent evening cries
 
Stop in mid air
 
Look back and stare
 
Wondering what happened there?
 
 
Will the butterfly
 
Anguish over times gone by
 
Try to find out and wonder why
 
Its home no longer occupied
 
Hanging empty, sparse and bare.
 
 
Perhaps the butterfly
 
Is just happy and free
 
Flying away with never a need
 
To look back and perceive
 
What has become
 
Why is it so?
 
 
And if you were a butterfly
 
How delighted would you be?
 
Flying away and letting it go
 
And never ever needing to know
 
Why life dealt you such a heavy blow.

      we title and lament
      our human existence, as fleeting
      or ephemeral..
      and yet a Butterfly
      glides past us, revelling
      in its daily countdown..
      there is majesty, in acceptance
      and transcendence
      need not wat for that final blink
      we may yet taste, its yields
      if we but hover and patiently
      distil, beauty
      from nature's, harsh realities..
      (an imaginatively, searching write
      and a wonderfully intriguing read..
      thank you for sharing, dear poet
      especially like
      how kept that melancholic tone
      so balanced and light
      showcasing great poetic skill
      in my humble opinion)

        I think that would be great, if only we could

          If only.... well some of us can, it is just a matter of changing the narrative in your mind. Sadly, we are not taught this, and many suffer from not being able to let go. 😳🌻
