The Memory
The Memory
I had thought to capture the moment,
However fragile. However fleeting.
And feel it move between the palms of my hands.
Soft and silent, like a moth.
With wings fluttering–yet frightened.
as it searches for light–
Within the darkness of my skin.

for some reason…be it the fact I have a very soft spot for butterflies or because its those moments that even in the darkest of our days bring us light….anyways…this is one of my favorite of yours….touched me deeply….
