a touch
so light
I would have missed
it had I not
been looking
wings
so fragile
beating into
currents strong enough
to alter winds
may my words
so broken
fall soft upon tender
hearts ready to
change the world
hanging out at the pub today, where poets meet
Beautifully expressed. Love the comparison to the butterfly, one of most gentle of all creatures. Yes, may one's words fall on open hearts. May they rest as easiy as a butterfly lights upon a flower!
ReplyDeleteah that our words could be as soft as the feet of the butterfly...and filled with as much beauty...smiles.
