The Circle of Growing
In my admiration of butterflies
Yet envious finding them dancing in air
Nonetheless I use to fear the earthly sky
It looked to me so wide and vast
Yet I wanted to join their world
I wanted to grow into a butterfly
Soaring the unlimited sky
As I became one
It's not so scary- not the way it use to seem
Somehow the touch of freedom seems to glide in me
In anticipation though smiling through the new journey
Breathing in the changes that happened to me
It's all in the circle of growing

"All in the circle of growing" ... how profound. I enjoyed this. The way one express themselves is like music, and even though we are singing different tones, in our commonalities of life, we don't sing alone. I enjoyed this circle of growing. - Amias
i find something rich and raw in the admission of envy...
lovely expression of your longing to be one with these winged friends...
