Butterfly

Butterfly, Butterfly
Send me a sign
A fraction,
A flake
Of something divine

Butterfly, Butterfly
I know you're not gone
You still see the sea
And me
And the dawn

Butterfly, Butterfly
Please keep us alive
Give us the strength
To believe
And to thrive

Butterfly, Butterfly
We'll meet in the sky
'Till then have my love
I miss you
Butterfly

Multiple Meanings

loni,

I'm fairly convinced that this piece has multiple meanings contained in its verses. I like the fact that the reader is free to come to his/her own conclusions.

Write on,

Pete

thank you

the poem developed after I decided the metephor would be a butterfly. very glad you could find personal meaning in this!

You're Welcome

loni,

You will find that I am one of the most generous commenters on this site. Unfortunately that is not well reciprocated by many. I have a lot of reads, few comments.

If you have a moment you might take a taste of my offerings.

Pete

I feel this a lot...

In your poem I feel my mother's soul flying with lovely wings... A beautiful way to start the day, loni. Thanks!
