Now in spring, the sun is still relatively low on the Italian Riviera, so it paints a glistening carpet of light on the Mediterranean.
To breathe
To be free
Never to hide
From who you are
What you are
How are you
But to appreciate the deepest part of your soul
That makes you feel whole
The darkest days have washed away into the forest of hate
Now you come to see
And recognize your beauty
From inside
You shine the brightest
When you look in the mirror
You no longer have to shiver
Be afraid or ashamed?
No.
It’s time to fly
Leave your shell
Break through your nest of hibernation
Be free to be who you are
What you are
How you are
Though, times are hard
Your strength keeps YOU going
Keeps YOU driven
Keeps YOU beautiful
Inside and out
Now, fly Black Butterfly fly
And don’t be afraid to fall
Because YOU are powerful
YOU are different
YOU escaped the nest
And transformed into the person YOU have been wishing to be
You’re a beautiful Black Butterfly
So why cry?
You’ve outgrown that stage of being afraid
It’s time to take that leap of faith
Into the darkest waters
Where they’re sharks still ready to attack
Ready to judge
Ready to depreciate your value to the world
So I ask…
Dear Lord, give me strength
Fight for me!
Fight for those scared to flock their wings!
As they run away from problems
Like it changes anything
So be proud
And scream aloud
That you are a Black Butterfly
Loved and appreciated
Life may NOT be what it seems
But we still smile
Through those grieving skies
We shall not live in lies
It is our time to shine
Because I love
Who I am
What I am
How I am
I am the darkest of those butterflies
I have the kindest heart around
I want that endless peace of mind
And to the eyes that still were blind
And didn’t recognize
I am the first Black Butterfly
The one who lived in a past that was full of sorrow
That now lays heavily on my back
Trying to breathe
To be free from all hate
Never to hide
From who you are
What you are
How are you
But, as I step out of the nest
I close my eyes and fly in the sky
Free as I could ever be
Black Butterfly
Arise

It was rainning hard in Lisbon today. Meteorologists said that it rained more today, than in the last year in October and November, altogether. Climate has been changing in Portugal and everywhere, we now have longer summers and floods during the rainy season!

From a beautiful original by nign 2007-2008 titled, the second tulip at my balcony.
I really liked the colors and angles of the original. I used the pen tool to select the larger leaves in the foreground. I copied these twice to new layers. I flipped one horizontally and slide it to thebside. I then scaled and blurred the other and slide it to the opposite side. I selected the tulip and had this on its own layer, and then used a yellow spot light to the bottom left of the tulip.
I added a little gradient on the top as a multiplier, and flipped the image vertically, and horizontally. Thank you so much nign 2007-2008 for letting e work on your beautiful photo.
