Very powerful and moving Elizabeth. No matter how helpless we feel, there will always be a candle there for us to light our way in the end 🙂

This is excellent, Elizabeth. The Butterfly Cinquain form is so fitting for your words. We all wish we could fly away from the horror of our situation. Stay safe. ❤

Thanks, Colleen! Yes, it will be great if we could at least take our mind away from all this trouble, but it’s impossible with the news, people, social media reminding us all the time. Stay safe!

I think this one’s perfect given the current situation. We’re all feeling more entrapped on the inside as we keep being trapped from without…

Yes, it seems there isn’t any place to scape, but at least we can dream through your words!
