The Butterfly Dance – A Poem about Having Faith in Yourself and Embracing the True You
The Butterfly Dance
Chasing dreams like butterfly hunters
calculated swings or a free sweeping swoosh
Destiny defined with mathematical precision
or passions tasted in sips, like wine
Opposing forces threaten clarity
but worse steal time from dreams
Our soul embraces truth
only speaking when we listen
Haunting sounds of the harp
call us to our plan
Do we assess the instrument
or hear soothing angels play the answers
With magical sounds of the intangible hugging us
Do we squeeze tightly
whimsically swaying to the butterfly dance
hoping to discover
the ultimate scientific formula,
Faith

Poem about Faith in Yourself: This poem is for those times in our life when we may be guilty of over-analyzing our purpose. You know, the times when you think to yourself..” I have these dreams”…but “so what”..”so does everyone else, what makes mine so special.” That’s when sometimes we try to calculate our dreams, sort of figure them out, like a physics question. Thus begins the debate in our mind, do we forge ahead with our hearts, or do we calculate every step along the way to make them come true. But the big question is, will they come true? Am I worthy, am I passionate enough?
