I am tired
I am lonely
I live alone in my cocoon

Aware of nothing else
But the butterfly
Hiding somewhere inside
Cannot emerge too soon
Left hanging
Suspended
Time drifts slowly by
Whilst all around
Stars float softly
Across the sky
The sun passes
High in the sky
Still alone she waits
Time is no friend
Alone in her captivity
That never ends

Butterflies, in reality or metaphorically are simply inspirational. SO delicate and yet strong enough to complete their purpose. Thank you. Susan x
