Do cry my child it's ok
Let the tears stream down your face and release all your sorrow.
Do cry my child don't hold back for me, I know tears are hard to see as opposed to laughter a joy felt felt all around, wrapped tightly in security and trust of a better day to come.
Do cry my child, I won't tell you not to. It's not fair of me to ask you not to cry. To hold back tears because they make me feel scared.

One day withought any thought I caught a butterfly in my net. I held her by the wings,
Excitement took hold of me.
I caught her standing a top of my tippy toes, holding on to the rail. A was a ballerina after all.
What a wonder what a feat, I mused within myself. I ran to show my mother.

Vanilla Butterflies
We had a light green balcony which in the springtime matched the vanilla butterflies,
They were ivory color and when caught they smelled of vanilla in the summer.
Our hallway floor felt like cement to the bare foot touch,
...

The gulp of air,
First breathe taken
I felt fear when I breathed in life
I didn't want to be here
...

If I let you go
Will you come back to me?
As so few seldom do
If I let go
...

Black Butterfly
I felt you here with me
The day they told me you had a stroke,
I knew your soul was here,
...

We all wear masks but no one told me
I didn't know it was a secret
I just wanted to blend in when I met you
I didn't know you would steal my light
...

Green balcony
Red painted
Cement hallway floor
The colors are vibrant
...

This is my most favourite life,
The one I am living in
Right now.
I had to die to get here.
...

I await patiently,
For the midnight muse
To strike again,
To tell the stories
...
