Fireflies and Butterflies Of Life

Salvia.S

We see the soul's rainbows in a dew drop,

And the reflections of the world in a transient hope.

Nor the life or hope is eternal,

Then why worry for life; ephemeral?

 

Life's a bouquet of lessons offered to thee,

Often a series of galimatias, and that void

Hope often comes through the people we see

The darkest skies, even the stars guide.

 

Life is a rose but with thorns 

The fire of love warms, then it burns

Let's look through rose tinted glasses 

In this transience, everything passes.

 

In the times of uncertainty, when all is lost,

When chaos swirl around you, at the worst,

Let your intuition and your inner voice,

Be your hopeful and powerful choice.

 

In a darkest night, when you're alone 

A firefly illuminates your way 

Let the fire ignite your heart and soul

Let the illumination guide your pathway

 

When your thoughts overpower your optimism,

A butterfly comes and lands on your palm,

That moment, a little joy, makes the day warm

Let hope resist the shadows of pessimism.

 

If you ever fall into the pit of misery,

Never give up, life's always a mystery

Hold on, this is your soul's quest

May the answers unfold for the best 

 

When sorrows become a devastating storm,

And life offers its deepest lows,

Let dreams be your wings, so strong 

Soar above worries, hatred; all those.

 

May those purest souls, have a better afterlife,

May them find the ethereal beauty of reincarnation

God! Please protect them through the sufferings of life 

At least, let's rejoice, as you and I a beautiful creation

    Such a lovely message sent in this poem of hope and flight above sorrows and difficulties where metamorphosis offers hope of change and beauty is emphasized in the colors and patterns of wings. Life that must end continues in a new birth. This may be literal in the form of life's cycle or metaphorical in the changes we make to ourselves during this existence. Most lovely and a fave

            Hello, Salvia,

            The gentle touch of an alighting butterfly to the warm glow from a firefly can teach us much about humanity, love and companionship. A beautiful poem, truly.

            Wishing you much happiness,

            Tony.
