Image for the poem dreamt, in blue.

dreamt, in blue.


 
Never  
was a worthiness  
instilled or nurtured,  
is how I thought you lived—
assumed a universal sameness
 
to be colored in grey
a sort of anguishing  
so alone
in all hushed tones
 
was usual of mind
 
figuring out life  
my potential  
with perfect errors  
trial and mistrial  
 
and contacts made
connections of soul deep  
allowing for that  
learned growth  
 
where then,
(sometimes are) tedious long  
processes  
forever in making  
me, me
 
times spent in decades
and seeming eons  
to mould, shape
even to resect  
piece by damaged piece  
 
struggle born  
against heated grain
all inescapable misfortune  
and pillars pulled, so very wrought
 
to finally set my mind above
reaching higher
to be exactly
who I was meant to be
 
was the hardest  
of such moments
born of distinct
crystallized pressure  
 
how uniquely known?  
to be self loved  
to be so very cherished
in worth, deeds  
and a soulful  
accepted knowledge  
as love becomes
a proven beautifying force  
 
... and  
You
become your own love of a lifetime.

For Val's DU phrase of the week forum.
"I set my mind above
to reach higher
to be exactly
who I am meant to be"

I love butterflies, period
the blue morpho is just.... yeah.
A perfect analogy.
