Buttercup

Caring dove

A buttercup softly sits in shades of sunshine 

on the green cushions of grass 

yet really 

the buttercup is living in the sky 

small soft friendly happy 

dancing in yellow 

standing in the blues 

the white the greys of the day 

being by a rainbow 

the soft cushion like clouds 

still being ok 

on the grass 

yet in her mind 

living and dancing in the sky 

dancing by the birds 

travelling , moving 

able to go where she wishes 

without just standing in one simple spot 

 

in one place but in her mind 

she’s elsewhere

    There are limitations to all things and by knowing our boundaries we can find ways to get beyond them. A beautiful write with great images and a wonderful message.

    • Caring dove

      Thankyou so much for your kind words

      I think sometimes I can feel ‘ trapped ‘ in life… and or / in myself .. not always but sometimes

      And it’s that wish or feeling that you want more confidence ir freedom , I guess

      Guess we can feel bit stuck sometimes

      Glad you liked my poem

          To be in one place but another at the very same time. Different things can cause this, and I certainly have experienced this myself. Very well written. my friend! 🙏❤️‍🩹

            Thankyou so much )) I think I was thinking that because it’s yellow it could also be in the sky , just like the sun

            Sometimes we wish to be somewhere else than where we are ..

            It’s very therapeutic allowing your mind to drift. Sky gazing is my cuppa tea. Lovely imagery here Caring Dove. Hope you are having a peaceful day.

              It is .. it’s a bit if freedom isn’t it , aswell

              Not the best of days

              Been feeling a bit tired and down today .. a bit better at the moment

              But yes it’s nice to let your mind drift and think about something else (
