For a Butterfly

By Colleen WaltersPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

Your anchor,

the place to return to,

keeps your vessel steady

in every storm and

fierce winds and waves.

+++

Your soul's safe place

bring your thoughts

and watch them transform

into shining drops

Enemies invite you

to break bread at

their table in peace

and a new alliance

+++

Your refuge for mind

and body

a warm blanket and heart

cuddle by candle's light

+++

Your cocoon,

the place you will come

swaddled in Love

and Knowing and

Acceptance

as your wings

are starting to form

soul transformed as

your heart morphs

from the shadowed earth

to the sun blue sky

We will wait

on the sunflower for you

and then with you

until your new wings

are dry

and then we fly

Limitless

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
