A Flutter of Wings

    The wind, it carries a sound ~
    a flutter of wings.

    A sound, fleeting, almost missed ~
    graceful flutter of wings.

    We pause, it touches our ear ~
    rhythm of fluttering wings.

    Butterflies, messengers sent ~
    memories on fluttering wings.

    Reminders of someone we miss ~
    fading flutter of wings.

    They rise and float to the heavens ~
    angels on fluttering wings.

    ~Love doesn't fade with a passing, it remains on fluttering wings.~

    This is lovely. I imagined a butterfly or hummingbird at first, then I realized the symbolism of life's passages as I continued reading.

    Very nice way to parallel life's passages in life's journey.

    It was an epic experience just reading, The Flutter of Wings and imagining your intent and the visceral emotions it brought at each line. Thank you for sharing it!
