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.

I really like your poem ))it’s so nice if we can just let go of everything that has hurt us . A lovely writing
Thank you for taking the time to comment 🌻😁
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)
Thank you, your comment and humble opinion is much appreciated. 🌻😊
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. 😳🌻
