Ruby Heart

A Dress of Fluttering Softness

Gustav Klimt, Water Serpents II, 1907

A sketch of the Butterfly Dress

I sit on the deck, listening to Stevie Nicks,
drinking coffee, sun shining, waiting
for a message. From whom? Or What? Or where?
I’m not sure. I hear a train’s horn,
lawnmowers (I could do without them), birds
and birds and birds and 
bass; someone’s car,
thumping.

The sound of my own breath,
a woodpecker,
patience. 
I’ve been flooding —
is it time for a tease? 
A slow drip
thick 
like honey?
Inside my heart, 
a fluttering kaleidoscope of
jewel toned butterflies, 
sapphire, emerald, amber, amethyst,
a ruby, beckoning me, 
centers herself on my solar plexus,
spreads her wings round my ribs in one 
sweeping gesture,
lifting me, 
proud and knowing. 

Amber, swaths of them 
cresting my shoulders, whispering
in my ears sweet somethings,
dancing down my arms, delicate.
Little sapphires
kiss my eyelashes.
A trio of emeralds crown me.
They must like my golden mane.
A crow agrees,
and this amethyst ripples open
revealing glints of midnight and crimson
and golden and when her wings catch the sun
they are stained glass, yet more brilliant,
silken, falling round my waist,
draping, tailor made for my body,
a dress of softness,
dissolving whatever armor
was left of me.

There’s no argument that the creative process is a path toward self transformation… you can either become the one * you think you should be* and only kinda feel your passion, OR become the pulse of desire thumping in your heart and live in a state of rapture. The latter path of ecstasy ripples from your creative work into your life as a whole. It transforms you from every angle conceivable.

My great passion is you help you discover this ecstasy within yourself. And I do it best 1:1.
