The Memory
The Memory
I had thought to capture—the moment,
however fragile or 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 in 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….
