| "Migration" Painting by Eddie Schrieffer |
My wings ripped
in this world of isolation
do you understand the gravity of the situation
watching the butterflies dance
my mind is full of wanderlust
in this galaxy of interstellar travel
weightless, my thoughts migrate
dancing to the butterflies song
my heart is full, emerging with desire
dreaming of that one transforming touch
that will break me free from my cocoon
give me more than the same old song & dance
show me your eyes, the reflections of your soul
and I will give you pieces of my truest self
together we will focus on mending our wings
give me a new reason to sing the songs of life
linking with The Sunday Muse
peace, light and healing
I love the back and forth, the voice that says "do you understand the gravity of the situation" and the one that wants "a new reason to sing the songs of life". Which are the same voice, but in different registers. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks gbit, I guess I was in one of my pondering moods today.
DeleteHow nice it would be for once to be given "more than the old song and dance.." A beautiful, lyric piece.
ReplyDeleteThanks, sometimes we need a new melody in life.
DeleteI too love the back and forth. Much needed hope filtered through our stark reality.
ReplyDeleteYes, hope is needed to mend our broken wings.
DeleteThis is my very favourite of all of your poems, True. I LOVE it. My Poem of the Week! So beautiful, so uplifting - so hopeful that we can mend our wings - and mend the crack in everything.
ReplyDeleteSherry, thanks so much for the lovely comment. You have lifted my spirit today.
DeleteAnd there are a lot of wings that need to be mended right now...
ReplyDeleteThat there are Alex, hopefully, flight will return on wings of lightness.
DeleteI also love the voice back and forth and the beautiful song filled message. This is wise and wonderful Truedessa!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carrie, Have a wonderful Sunday!
DeleteAh yes we search day by day for that new reason in the covid19 era
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my sumie Sunday today
Much💖love
Hi Gillena, I am holding on to hope
DeleteThis was a fun read, I enjoyed every line. I would relate this to an injured person watching the ongoing war activates, sooo wanting to get back intro the action. Thank you for peeking in on my twisted tale.
ReplyDelete..
I do hope your back has improved and that you will be able to sleep better. I.e. get well soon!!

Hi Jim,
DeleteI guess we are all suffering from the Covid war. Twisted tales are interesting. Keep writing
Thank you for the well wishes
DeleteThis is awesome! It has such a wonderful bounce & the ending...could loop back around or just zoom upward. :)
ReplyDeleteThis line in your poem resonated with me 'my mind is full of wanderlust' ~~ I am so ready to hit the road without fear without angst. I enjoyed your poem.
ReplyDeleteLiked all of it but the first one the best!
ReplyDeleteSure many a pair of wings that need mending these days.
