Halfway Through A Wink.....

Halfway Through a Wink, She Thought She Saw A Butterfly One eye closed, the other halfway through a wink, you saw little of the colors and less of the poetry. Reaching for depths, your hands encountered sand. Unable to grasp the moment, you let it sift into the past.  Why is it you weep in dark corners while everyone else dances? Why is it you cannot see the butterflies? Someone spoke to you of broken bells. Someone sang for you a simple song. Listening to seashells, you chose the faded gray of false dawns. Look! The moon is missing! Even a yellow flower could not light the way back.
