Live it Well

Live it Well

An image staring back at me
a face I don’t  yet  know,
The mirror says ‘I never lie
you’re old ..I told you so!’

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 inside 

 A chrysalis could slowly change 
before my childish eyes,
perform a miracle of life
creating butterflies.

A one day butterfly emerged
it’s wings slowly unfold,
and radiant colours filled the sky
flame red  and burning  gold

It held the  heavens in it’s wings
the  chrysalis forlorn,
a fluttering gem,so proud and free
and yet so newly born 

So even if the years roll on
and age my outer shell,
I am that one day butterfly
and life ...I’ll 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 xo  : )

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.
Stay healthy and stay well my friend and simply thank you. x.
