Butterfly garden

Outside winter lingers chilling, aggravating, 

Holding on too tight while  body’s soul craves warmth.

Inside, tropical rain forest orchids breathe relief

Coaxing caterpillars to unfold.

Squeezing out  last drop, old life attitudes memory.

Wings stretch where once remembered wrinkles.

Crawled slow, meshed to earth and e body and soul crave warmth

Inside, tropical rain forest orchids breathe relief

Coaxing caterpillars to unfold.

Squeezing out the last of old life and ways,

Wings stretch where once remembered wrinkles.

Crawled slow, meshed to earth.

Stretch and shiver, fold and reach.

An unknown new beginning will be the end.limbs.

Stretch and shiver, fold and reach.

An unknown new beginning to the end.
