A Hundred Butterflies

A Hundred Butterflies

A Hundred ButterfliesΒ 

You can go a whole lifetime and not feel it,
It can allude β€˜til our final days;
For most, we just tread the wheel,
Life passing us by in a colourless haze

If you’ve never really known it, how can you tell if it’s in your path?Β 
Is it a look, a touch, a sense, a smile..or something that makes you laugh?

Until one day something happens, someone joins the path you walk;
Fate placing the pieces? A special connection when you talk..

..about your desires and wants, a common ground, a meeting of the minds;
Something you’ve never experienced before, or thought you’d ever find

Inexplicable sixth senses, when you think of them they’re there;
Something pulling you closer together in the ether or the airΒ 

A feeling like no other, like a hundred butterflies in the heart;
A pining to be together while you are living your lives apart

Is this that feeling that alluded, that some dream of for so long;
Did life send us a twin flame, a soulmate..or what we often call β€˜the one’

In the autumn of our lives, learning & growing from past mistakes;
Have we finally found our happiness, a chance to do whatever it may take

Thank you John ? Yes, the privilege of time, learning from life & recognising the special something or someone that life places in your path that makes you question all previous choices ? x

Very good - Tracey. I like 'reading the wheel.' ln 'Midnight Express,' the prisoner hero was pushing the punishment wheel the wrong way.
Maybe we do that sometimes.
Love,
