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

ReplyDeleteWell 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

ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful poem, Janice. Perfect for a dreary mid-winter day. And I love the lively pictures, which work so well with the words.
