The Story of the Butterflies

[kabo11]

Once there was a man who sat in sunny fields and watched butterflies as they passed. It was his job to observe them and write poetry to memorialize their beauty. He was mesmerized by their patterns and resplendent colours so he wrote beautiful odes to them. There were others there who attracted the butterflies, people the butterflies were drawn to

This is beautiful, and a very lovely way to think of things. Sad, but lovely.

thank you

Thanks for the compliments. It is how I feel right now after being broken up with after 5 years. My ex-boyfriend now seems like one of those butterflies.

How poignant... But I don't agree with vacarious love; there is a butterfly for every observer, to be sure.

That's true, I'm sure. I just don't feel like it now.

Maybe not now, but you don't know what will fall into your lap. Just work on yourself right now-- that's the most you can do. :)
