Live it Well
An image staring back at me
a face I donātĀ Ā yetĀ Ā know,
The mirror says āI never lie
youāre old ..I told you so!ā
Look at those eyes a blue, grey green,
I guess no longer wide,
but what great things those eyes have seen
that I keep safe insideĀ
Ā A chrysalis could slowly changeĀ
before my childish eyes,
perform a miracle of life
creating butterflies.
A one day butterfly emerged
itās wings slowly unfold,
and radiant colours filled the sky
flame redĀ Ā and burningĀ Ā gold
It held theĀ Ā heavens in itās wings
theĀ Ā chrysalis forlorn,
a fluttering gem,so proud and free
and yet so newly bornĀ
So even if the years roll on
and age my outer shell,
I am that one day butterfly
and life ...Iāll live it well!

Hi LODIGIANA!!......This is so very beautifully conveyed......the perpetual dilemma of facing age and the truth that it implies can be most difficult for some......but were they to read these profoundly poetic words of yours they may find some solace in understanding that they are not alone and if they applied the wisdom of your intent here....they may just be able to smile in the face of natures beauty and the beauty to be found in growing older!!.......PINNED for perfection....this is a BRILLIANTLY poetic piece dear poet sister!!.......Bravo!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xoĀ : )

It is good to see you back Lodigiana and hitting the poetry ground running.
Superb writing as always and always presenting a differing theme.
Never in your beautiful repertoire any two alike just pure quality.
