I wrote this for my friends wife and I am thinking of reading it at a memorial service that is being held for my friend next weekend. If anyone has any suggestions how I can improve or if they see any errors etc I would ask that they please let me know...it was based on a story she told my wife about just before her husband died

Butterfly Whispers

By: Felix Perry

 

Along a garden path she walked to grieve

With tears in eyes that blurred the light

She lingered for a moment by the flowers

To watch the beauty of a butterfly in flight

 

The butterfly flittered all around her

To softly land on her outstretched hand

She sensed him whisper I’ll always be here

And at first she didn’t quite understand

 

She held her palm up to the breeze

The butterfly arose and circled in the air

Was then she realized love could never die

For he left his very spirit for her there

 

On butterfly wings he said goodbye

Until they would meet someday again

Surrounded her once more with love

To ease her hurting and her pain.

I'm sorry I missed this Fee, but for what is worth now, it's soft, gentle and endearing.
Nothing comes out perfect when we are in grief, and it dosent matter, what matters is that it comes from the heart, as this write more than abundantly does.
Hugs to you as always

Darlin Pops, what a gift you are and what a gift you have. Like you and the special meaning you bring to these tender and deeply penetrating words that say as much as any Master's canvas, the combination of your heart, your presence, your voice all presenting YOUR inspired feelings and thoughts will be just PERFECT. And the result WILL be powerful and evident for all to see and share in. Be at peace - this will bring it, together with hope and comfort. Love, Kate xx

Felix, this is spoken in a voice of sincerity and truth...I wouldn't change a thing...it's beautiful and it speaks straight from the heart. Words are those spoken by a writer who holds the pen and the thoughts are his/her's and regardless how you change it...they are not the words spoken by you.

I think the last two verses could use some work. For instance, the third line 'was then she realized' - after the butterfly circled have it perhaps do something a little more magical and then go into the last line about feeling his spirit for her there. You know the guy, if you can make it a little more personal, like remembering something about nature he loved, for instance, and connecting it somehow to the butterfly.

Other than that, I think you've got a wonderfully vivid poem to read aloud. Good work!

Fee,
What a wonderful sentimental, inspirational tribute to a man with an amazing spirit..Please tell her from Amber "V" that "all the love in the world cannot amount to an ounce of what he felt for her"...I have channeled this message from his spirit, he really loved her with all his being..

Peace, Love, and Light,
Amber "V"

Beautiful as written. Don't change a thing. There is texture to this poem and it should have a settling effect when you perform it.
