A Butterfly Loves Poetry

I travel the road set before me

Though the destination’s unknown

With trust and grim resolution

I know I must journey alone

But others travel around me

And our paths meander and cross

Then forks or a rocky embankment

Leave me searching, my Soul at a loss

With faith and some apprehension

My fear dissolves in delight

As a new road forms there before me

And I take the path to the right

Mountains swell all around me

Their summits lost to a storm

Then I notice the road ahead falters

And I drop to my knees, my heart torn

The road behind is but a memory

A shadow is all that remains

But the darkness glimmers with wisdom

And I see all the lessons I’ve gained

So with one step I tackle the mountains

I endure the wrath of the storm

Some Souls travel beside me

While others leave me lost and forlorn

When dawn caress’ the morning

And the road is again straight and true

I find I am so much the stronger

The disappointments I hold but a few

The Soul travels a journey

From birth to the heavens above

Though the road is often rocky

It is made easier when there is love
