to write again...

I tried to write again the other day
my Winter passing cold over dark dormant thoughts...

i am a butterfly
i am in a cocoon
made of my own self-doubt.

My words muffled, then they went silent
my hands poised over the keys
They begun to tremble with fatigue
waiting, wringing, clenching
Wasting the passing of Time.

i am a butterfly
i am in a cocoon
made of my own self-doubt.

I walked away in pursuit of procrastination
my hands stroked the cat absentmindedly
They continued to move about
sorting, moving, cleaning
Anything but touching words.

i am a butterfly
i am in a cocoon

made of my own self-doubt




Yet one stellar day, my thin grey cloak of despair did tear-

gracious Time held her breath, encouraging me

Soon vibrant words came one by one, then spilling
tumbling, spreading, filling
Overflowing pages upon pages with fluid prolific thoughts.



I am a butterfly
I am out of my cocoon

revealed by my own self-worth.






And so I began to write again today

my Spring awakening dormant muses, bringing light from within...

  2. Well my friend this is certainly worth waiting for it is truly beautiful. I love the flow of the words and the thoughts it evokes in my own world or in my case room:). This is what was bubbling just below the surface waiting for that kick. Great job and I look forward to more of the same. No pressure:) really:) Hug B

  9. January weather does that to you. We seem so far from butterflies, flowers and bees. Photographs and writing like yours are a boost and a stimulant. Thanks. Wishing you much more inspiration and light for your writing. I really, really like it.
