Description

When we are small And sometimes feel so ugly And vulnerable ... like a caterpillar The butterfly shows us The metamorphosis of our spirit And the miracle of our growth and change As we mature And like the butterfly We are all different And special in our own way. Some say Butterflies are the beautiful souls Of those who have passed away Returning to us On a sunny day. Flight Of The Spirit prose by Carol Cavalaris © This image is dedicated to twin-sisters, Nikita and Bella. They have touched my heart in a way I can't explain. I don't know either girl, except what I've experienced in their galleries. I spent a profound night looking at the images, listening to the music, and reading the poems and words of bella_sometimes to her beloved sister, nikita_s_cold. And reading Niki's answers to Bella. And weeping. Their story is so heartbreaking ... their love for each other so healing. Each so special and beautiful, their spirits evolving in a different way Nikita recently passed away at the tender age of 15. Her spirit is finally flying free in the heavens. Bella's spirit is as beautiful, but wounded Struggling to fly away from the past Struggling to survive. I know their love for each other Is purer and more fierce Than painful memories. I know they are wise beyond their years And stronger than all their tears And that they are both butterflies. God be with you, Nikita and Bella, on your flight of the spirit. Carol

Rarely have any words struck such a chord in my heart.....how beautiful and yet haunting....you are indeed a special gift to all of us, and I am so awestruck by the beauty and symbolism of this work....And may Bella find the peace she so richly deserves. Nikita? She flys with the angels now and nothing can ever hurt her again :-)

Super dedication, I can't believe she was only 15, damn' she hadn't even started her life ! This seems to be symbolic to the short life of a beautiful butterfly. ~Cheers~

I did not know of these girls until your image, Carol. So beautiful. Abuse does indeed make you feel extremely alone...I'm glad they had each other. Wonderful dedication, your words are beautiful.
