BUTTERFLY KISSES

~snapshot of my butterfly drying its wings in the sun
before it said goodbye and took off.....
Butterflies shimmering in the darkness
Under silent whispers of scented willows
Tassles fluttering with the passage of time
Tales of love to keep me safe at night
Everlasting hugs from Daddy
Real as butterfly kisses
Floating in the morning breeze
Lets go...our secret sanctuary lie waiting
Yesterdays mystery unfolds...

Butterflies are always seen as symbols of joy and happiness...even one friend once told me that butterflies carry wishes to heaven to be granted! Always loved them butterflies since Daddy took me to the Butterfly park @ Sentosa when i was just this tall...*points up to the waist*...so magical when butterflies lands on top of yer head, on your arms..shoulder and hands...constant source of enchantment till this day. Love to save em caterpillars from the birds and keep them in the mini fish tanks..feed them lime leaves, watch them grow...and let them go when they break open and fly away as butterflies...simple kind of magic...they say whenever a butterfly is born, another child's wishes come true....

Big Black butteflies are also almost always present at funeral wakes..as if telling the relatives that everything is ok. The beauty of butterflies stems from its rich spirituality and mystery. I know i have been trying to piece together this 100,000 pieces jigsaw puzzle called life and every piece brings me one step closer to completion. Its tedious job ..slowly but surely...its definitely not the destination but the process of piecing it all together...thats all worth it when its completed...and will take a giant step back and look back in wonder when its all done..

I know whatever I have expressed here seems profound & deep to some and sheer nonsense to others but i guess ultimately I'm a drama mama and just have to answer to myself and listen to my heart as this little soul's journey is just that...to heal and release myself from fear and restlessness stemming from fear...there is no more fear...when the butterfly is released from its cocoon...very symbolic..a natural state of peace that is with me and within me at all times...

Butterflies will always always have a special place in my heart... this song's for Daddy..i will always be Daddy's little girl.....






Daddy's love...everlasting...
