Poems from the_vintage_butterfly
Nothing happens unless first we dream.
And indeed I did.
I dreamt,
I hoped,
I wished upon a star,
And I prayed.
I called out for mercy
And...
Grains of sand wiggle their way between my impatient toes
The glimmering ocean waves three yards away
Surreptitious seabirds sidle towards...
Can it be
Somewhere up ahead
Dripping in laughter
Glistening red?
Trust in myself
Brimming the top
Breathing with liberty
Not caring to...
Crystal light reflects in a shimmering pool, hovering just below the stars which
blink sleep out of their eyes onto soft breathing below....
Why is it
That we try so hard
To please our parents
Our friends
The everyday people around us
What is it that
We fail to find in ourselves...
