This is a truly beautiful piece, heartfelt congratulations!
It has both depth and gorgeous, unique, multi-layered images.
I've noticed that the loveliest pieces with high literary value are penned by authors who are not well-known names which is really sad.

Thank you, Magyar. Lovely! I can hear your butterfly.

I also sent a response but your editor must have cancelled it out. It was mentioned on my Facebook Poetry Site. https://www.facebook.com/groups/807679459328998/
