Wildflower wall

She stops her walk down the cobbled path
And decides to rest on a low broken down wall
Listening to the silence as a hot sun warms her back
Melting away the dew drops on the cold stone path

Dangling her bare feet above the patch of grass, growing tall
She idly plucks wildflowers sprouting out of the wall
Nearby a pale yellow butterfly meekly flutters its wings
And a warm breeze starts making music high up in the trees

Slowly she breathes in the heat, letting go of a deep sigh
Contemplating the quiet land spreading as far as her sight
Finally she starts walking back home again, in the hot sun
Entering her small unassuming abode with a tiny garden

At home, she listens to the trees outside, to the sighing leaves
As she quietly hums and puts the wildflowers in a water glass
Throughout the day, the glass sits on her kitchen table
Reminding her of those warm moments… on the wildflower wall

Wings of joy

It starts as a small flutter in a dark corner
A delicate whisper across skies of copper
Slowly emerging from its small hideout
Disturbing the cloak of silence thats worn out

Afraid at first, unsure and uncertain
Looking around with apprehension
Then slowly it starts spreading its wings
Spreading a glorious warm feeling

The feeling unfolds in a burst of colour and joy
Fluttering like a magnificent butterfly
Suffusing everything with colour and warmth
The wings of joy unfolding in her heart
