A poem about self-love and empowerment. Taking risks from a space of deep inner knowing and trust. This deep inner knowing and trust is developed from self-awareness, introspection, and reflection, and alignment with your sacred divine self.

butterfly lesson

A bright yellow butterfly with blue and black accents
fluttered her way to my garden,
landed ever so softly
with grace and ease upon an orange flower.
She safely and peacefully sipped nectar.

Gazing upon her beauty,
I transcended into a meditative state.
I couldn’t help but hear the butterfly’s message,
of expansion.
With celestial music vibrating in my soul,
I clearly heard the words —
I’d rather open my heart, be vulnerable, and take risks
than hold back love, be guarded, and fearful.
