Things have been floating through my head, butterfly-style. I don't know what to say.

Thank you, Abigail. I also really like when people take different views on my pieces. They're open for everyone's interpretation.

I love that people can read this and take it in many different ways. I love that what I got from reading it could have been different from what someone else did.

It is actually a partner piece to 'finding', if that's what you're referring to. And you can take it any way you wish, it's rather versatile.

Thank you, Robot. I've been doing my best to write, and this just popped into my head while listening to butterfly-related music, so I'm afraid it's rather random.

Lovely, as always. I love the reference to butterflies. The title is as much a part of the story as the poem. And, as always, you've proven that one doesn't need 3,000 words to make a story. Gorgeous, Just gorgeous. :)
