Elusive Butterfly

I once had a butterfly come to my finger.
I was overjoyed he had come to visit me.

I wondered in my mind
as I looked and held the butterfly.

Many thoughts ran through my mind
as I marveled at the great beauty
of the magnificent butterfly.

I thought about beauty and what it is,
but as I tried to put it into words,
it seemed to elude me.

For the words had no meaning
compared to the experience.

Such is Life.

I'm wondering about the re-opening  of ones heart....once it's been "wounded"...again.  Age and experience speaks/knows that it happens; yet, in the re-kindling of my hearts light it still aches. 

Lovingly, I think Rumi, as always, speaks to this so well:

The agony of lovers
burns with the fire of passion.
Lovers leave traces of where they've been.
The wailing of broken hearts
is the doorway to God.

I only wish there were other, easier (!) doorways to Spirit.....(big smile!)

peace & light, ilya
