I
A striped butterfly hovers on Chrysanthemum,
With blooms providing the beloved sweet nectar;
The sweetness that butterflies want more than life itself.
Bright dazzling orange bursts in a sunny garden,
Calling to the flying jewels swirling and twirling;
It is said butterflies and flowers are meant for each other.
II
In my little city garden I have planted flowers,
And it is there that I find inspiration for poems;
A place of contemplation where flying flowers soothe my soul.
I work to create their wish list safe sanctuary,
Of sunny open space and muddy water they love;
Shelter from the wind amongst asters, cornflowers and daisies.
A flat garden stone for basking in the sunshine,
The solitude creates feelings deep within my soul;
Images that float on wings in my mind and flutter into words.
Surreal poetry that I release into the wind,
That go drifting on beautiful butterfly wings.
