Emergence
Wistful thoughts Do not satisfy The hunger inside of me Dark, corrupt images Feed the fire of discontent As I battle to be free Breathe in, breathe out One day at a time Bringing clarity to help me see A butterfly is now emerging In a moment of beauty Forgetting the struggle to be free Copyright © 2022 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Ingrid is hosting Open Link Night D'Verse Poets. I am submitting an old poem that I reworked a little.
The butterfly probably just emerge… and freedom is its nature.
