Wings of Man~ By Debbie Whitmore

9/25/2017

4 Comments

 
Butterfly;
flittering all around without direction.
Hypnotizing all with your colorful beauty and
your constant search for the sweet.
 
No worries, no cares after your tumultuous journey,
that only you can appreciate.
 
Seeming to smile
after your forced metamorphosis.
Everyone looks in amazement and wonder,
aware of the pain and suffering of your life.
 
You were forced to trust the earth and unsavory bypassers.
Vulnerable, in the midst of chaotic change
yet, you seem to joyfully embrace the earth; giving beauty and life,
unaware of your significance.
 
Having given in to what is,
to Being;
Having changed under the command of another.
Having emerged, still unsure.
Yet strong, beautiful,
Delicate.
 
Listening to and being directed by the winds,
by the breath of the daisy that invites you in,
telling you the secrets of life.
 
You are stronger still,
knowing now,
the wings
that before were only a dream,
an ache.
 
Your wings,
where they take you
is 
Limitless.

The poem gives off the feeling of adoration to the endless beauty of someone. I can't really put into words all of the feelings I've experienced while reading this. I am amazed how Debbie was able to bring out these emotions from me by her words. I know that there will come a time when I will also be able to put my heart and soul in writing a poem. For now, I’ll enjoy reading their works as my source of inspiration.
