Butterfly

Standard

Oh butterfly.

You are lost and I am afraid

You cannot remember your way to the warmth of the sun.

How you arrived here is anyone’s guess.

Only you truly know the path you have journeyed.

I’ve tried to save you

But you’re up so high

Here inside

Where you are not meant to be.

Flitting and thrashing against the cold

Windowpane

For you know not the way to where you need to be.

When you settle

I will reach you.

I’ll put you back where you belong

In the open sky.

Please don’t look back.

This you must promise me

…………

You will fly.

Fly,

Fly.

Fly away free.

In The Summer

Standard

In the summer

We were free.

Life’s waves crashed

At our feet.

I could hear your heartbeat

Above it all.

Above the wind,

Above the rush.

I could hear your heartbeat

Above it all.

As we ran until we were

Breathless.

As our salty lips brushed

And our

Hair tangled.

As we fell to the shore

Spent.

Still.

Loved.

Tell me

Sweet soul,

Are you still loved?

Even now I feel your

Heartbeat

On my skin.

Even now I hear your heartbeat

Above it all.

Fences

Standard

There are those

Afraid

Of their own loneliness.

Who cannot recognize themselves

In

The looking glass.

They will build fences around you

To keep you near

And safe.

To keep

Warmth of skin close

Not of their own.

Easily

Reachable.

Be aware,

For in time

You might lose sight

Of those fences

And believe

You are

Free.

Free

Standard

I hope wherever you are,

You are

Free

Now.

Free to be your beautiful self.

And when anyone tries to stifle you,

You don’t ever hold back.

I hope you see through them

And know now it’s not about you,

Their fear.

It never was.

You,

So beautiful.

Too free for some people to handle,

And too much  yourself

That it terrified them to see how much they

Themselves

Hold back.

How they keep themselves in chains.

I imagine you dancing and singing at the top of your lungs

While the leaves fall at your feet,

Some wild autumn wind playing in your hair.

And I know

You

Are

Free.

Howl

Standard

My lovely friend,
Step outside and howl
At the
Moon if
You need to.
Stop holding back.
Stop fighting
What every single
Cell in you creation is calling
You to be.
To love
To dance
To sing
To run
To lie by the ocean
And fill yourself
With the power
Of rolling thunder.
Your soul knows.
Your heart knows.
Set yourself free
And your mind will follow.
In the sweet embrace of
All of you,
There you will be complete
And you will find
Universes
Yet to be explored.
