Timelines and Butterflies


Yesterday ~ one goal completed
Today ~ another envisioned
Twining together across timelines of 
day to night to day

In the midst of it all
random thoughts gather
jumble in with 
laundry, 
breakfast, 
an errand or two
or a good book.

Random thoughts do not
ask to be written anywhere
nor even remembered.

They are just like 
butterflies
pretty flowers
thunderstorms
trees bent in the wind
horizons at land or sea’s end

If I do catch one in flight
try to set it down in black and white
what is in my mind can easily
morph and shift as
the ethereal curtain of aurora borealis
waving prettily in a cold night sky.

“So you see, imagination needs moodling ~ long,
inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering.”
~ Brenda Ueland
