The Beautiful Butterflies Lift Me
by Debra Faulconer Baker

Rated "G" by the Author.

Standing on the edge of nowhere...
Time stands still...Waiting for a droplet of rain...I am destined to decay...


Standing on the edge of nowhere

 

Time stands still

The Sun slip through the clouds

Awe’ I am thirsty

Waiting for a droplet of rain

To quench my lips

Parched from the Sun

I am destined to decay

In hunger and thirst

Left here alone I say

I raise my head in prayer

With my last bit of strength

Anyone I say hears me

I cry out begging deliverance

I must be hallucinating

A gentle breeze

Drift right through me

It feels so sweet

Awe’ and the beautiful Butterflies

Lift me

As if I were a feather

I wonder

If they gather

To take me home

Butterflies are our lost loved ones. I have written about them too. Believe as you do, that they go to heaven with us and come back to earth to tell us of our love. Safe and secure I am when I see a butterfly pass by above me and land below me. Angels, such godlike spirits of love.**********
Reviewed by Felix Perry 7/21/2008
Very serene in its beauty and also kind of soft and sensual as if the butterflies are your lovers sent to rescue you with a whisper of a kiss. Loved this one Deb, well done. Do you know that most of your pictures are not coming through?
