Yes I really do 😊 One thing, I can’t get to your older poems, I see 3 poems on your poem page, but when I read one there comes suggestions for the other ones but pretty soon it suggests the same ones and then I cannot get any further.
I like this poem very much, it is deep and beautiful and full of hope and positive feel. ”She rediscovers the beauty, She lost along the way.. this phrase is so true and so beautiful. You have a secret oasis😊
Hi Kymber,
Thank you for popping over to Beyond the Flow. I was delighted to read your poem as I love butterflies in themselves, but also their lifecycle, which has been used for many different allegories. I wonder if the butterfly remembers it was a caterpillar?
I am intrigued by the last two lines. Should forget and wipeout out past mistakes? If so, do we learn from them or are we doomed to repeat them? On the other hand, our mistakes shouldn’t define us either. Yet, when you look at this forgetting on a national scale, we condemn it. Well, some of us do anyway. I am a history researcher so naturally, I put more weight on the past than others. I would probably say to remember and acknowledge the past (at least to ourselves) but not to be weighed down or burdened by it. Thank you very much for stimulating a few rain cells on a Sunday night.
Best wishes,
Rowena
Hi, there, Rowena. It is so nice to meet you. And I have to say, I really like your comment. It’s an interesting line of thinking. I totally agree with the thought that mistakes will be repeated if we don’t remember them. Studying history is a favorite past time for me.
When I wrote this poem, I was coming out of a very dark time, and so my thoughts were that I should not continue ruminating on the past when there is still so much ahead of me. But I really like the points you make. Is there a middle ground? I like to think there is.
I really am enjoying this discussion and learning your perspective. Thank you so much again for your thoughtful comment.
Lovely! Definitely one that can carry a multitude of meanings… have read it twice now and each passing brought a different thought into my mind. I think I might print and hang it up on the wall by my computer since these thoughts are obviously things I should ponder upon 🙂
Thank YOU for sharing!
Beautiful poem. When I read about the family I thought about Memphis and why wouldn’t beauty be the little Jilly? She just can think about her on and on and discover new things. That’s probably only my complicated adaption. Anyways, very well written.

“She will not look behind her
The past is out of sight” That is the good attitude. Great poem 🌺
Thank you so much, Jean. I’m really glad you enjoy my poetry. 🌸

Oh I’m sorry to hear that. I will look into it to see if there is something I can do about that.

Thank you so much, Jean. This was a poem I wrote in my art journal, and it eventually made its way here.
That journal must be full of treasures I think:)
I don’t know about that. I’m no artist, but it’s fun to work in.
You have beautiful and thoughts awakening poems, I love these. The last verse of this poem is a pearl🌺
Thank you so much. This is the first poem I ever wrote. 🙂
In this case you were born to be a poet😊
LOL 😀 Thank you.
I will explore your poems many many times, as I said they are not one time stuff, they live…

What a beautiful poem. I can see it as something Memphis would write.

Marvellous! It sounds like an awesome song. <3
I hadn’t thought of it as a song lyric; that’s an interesting idea! Thank you so much for your kind words. 🙂
