What a beauty by rosiekind

What a beauty

Release

I heard a sound I could not see
But to persue it was to be
A fluttering in my ear I heard
And then I found, not a little bird
But a butterfly trying to go free

I scooped him up into my hands
Hoping that he would land
Somewhere safe and feel alive
And like me, manage to survive
The release of being captive so long
I was glad to hear that imaginary gong
When 7 days were up for me
Like the butterfly, I now feel free

Thank you to everyone who has wished me well following my eye operation. At the moment I don't have any sight in my left eye which is my reading eye but at last I can sit with my head up and walk around (although I am bumping into things occasionally). I'm sure that all your thoughts and prayers have helped in my recovery and my special thanks go to Sarah @pixiemac and Pam @pamknowler for their continued help and support.
Lovely words you have written to accompany a delicately poised shot. May your recovery continue.
