    thoughts of butterflies

    butterflies burning into the distance
    an image burning your very core
    the skyline perfect, through existence
    incinerated by thoughts we abhor

    the clouds are golden reflections
    as flames lick the heavens
    heat attacks all directions
    and it all falls upon sevens

    seven wings to lift the earth
    seven arms to hold life still
    seven hearts to give birth
    seven dreams to fulfill

    dreams of glory long since past
    dreams of agony, cold as winters frost
    thoughts of splendor unsurpassed
    thoughts worlds connected, crossed

    these wings give way to ashes
    cinder darkens a simmering sky
    as the image flashes
    by and by

    what i used to be will pass away and then you`ll see that all i want to know is happiness for you and me...

    I like this poem a lot. It reminds me of a moment of peace when I went to walk in a field of flowers and the flowers turned out to be butterflies. They all leapt into the air and fluttered about. It was an image that flashes by and by, not to be forgotten.

    -Edna St. Vincent Millay

    Very penetrating use of imaginations and images

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
