Butterflies to Mend

BY Cindy J. Buechler

As I look within my eyes

and reach within my soul;

I find a hollow wilderness,

dead grass along the knoll.

But up above the terrace

I find a chance to heal.

Masked behind the pain

is a brand new crisp reveal.

Scattered flower petals

flutter in the wind.

Mixed within are butterflies

helping me to mend.

Perhaps I dream too large

for the world to ever make

the delicious size of magic

I need within the cake.

Or back away from wishes;

I scurry to a corner.

If I love too deep and true,

I’ll just become a mourner.

Shaken limbs have left me

with branches stranded bare.

Yet witness I have truth

as you were really there.

Dance around the corner

of the dusty road ahead.

Sunshine lingers bright

above my clearing head.

My Poetry, Photography, and Journals hold treasure from grade school to high school to adult school, which I'm still attending ... just waiting for the final grade. Each layer of life reveals a new truth and with age, it becomes apparent that time is my greatest rival. My hope is to reflect with words and pictures that offer comfort, insight, and wisdom for a life well-lived with peace and tranquility in the end.

  Joel, I definitely need to…I seem to have lost time for that lately. My creative side seems to be blocked momentarily. Taking a break to go deeper within I suppose. I will be curious to see what emerges on the other side. Cindy
