Apparition

At times I, the butterfly
Am far removed from pupal stage
Loved by many friends and folk
Whose conversations I engage

This is not my normal state
For I am likened to the fly
Given to latibulate
In shadows watching time go by

Incredible

A representation of how we have different sides to ourselves and switch between them as needed. I am more a fly than butterfly.

Dear Tim

Now you can hear from the dregs (just joking) I read my Sis comment and I am thought where to go but down.

This is an extremely clever poem; I love how you see yourself; I am truly unknowing of what I am. I just am.

(I just wrote a heap of stuff and I want to know you have inspired a poem I have never in 16yrs wrote a comment where I thought Jesus that's a poem, I will write a blurb on the bottom when I post so you know what your poem inspired) I've deleted what I wrote it was all because of this poem.

Kind Regards Jayne
