Butterfly

Sometimes when I write, I’m not sure where it will lead. I just like to string beautiful words together and wait for the meaning to evolve. While unintentional, this poem talks about being soft and strong at the same time. A feat that’s difficult to achieve but one that a butterfly embodies so beautifully.

I delight in your warmth
your gentle tickles
your sweet kisses
bathe me pink and blue
until the moon’s rays
soften the sharp edges of my harsh skin
until the sun’s rays
echo strength on your effervescent wing. 🦋
