Butterfly Jars and Scars
A closed door that once contained time.
Is now an open window
to undiscovered dreams in echoing forgotten chimes.
The harmonic glass tapping
from coated wings flapping
helps me to forget what’s happening.
Watching them flutter about
in colorful spirals disperses my dark clouds of doubt.
Hearing my heart beating
in place of the old clock ticking.
And I wonder if magical butterfly jars have the power to heal my soul’s scars.
