Butterfly Effect

loss and becoming

You said space, but my brain registered 'silence'

and my hands forgot their language

grief sat with me like the winter night

thin, honest and unafraid.

This morning, a white butterfly

floated onto my hand as if holding,

reassuring me with its presence.

It circled my head then lifted,

as if caring away the doubt

into the warm gentle air.

I watched, aching but breathing

the feeling of peace returning.

A fragile bit of courage unfolding,

leaving room for hope.

Come back to me,

loosen your grip on my heart

as it chooses you to walk

in this new beginning with me.

Howdy! There is relatable stuff here- dark and twisty and some sentimental garbage. "Don't forget to tip your waitresses" Hi, I am your waitress, let me serve you with more content. Hope you enjoy! :)
