Butterfly

Here by this park The flowers bloom, Bright colours spark As fragrance grooms. Butterfly moves From here to there, Flutter and groove To seek new fares. A pair in chase Over green leaves, In cheery craze Over wind drifts. Ancient lovers From times before, Light now shimmers With joy galore. There's a lightness In the cool breeze, I taste brightness In easy whiz. I take a stroll In sunlit dawn, Feel calmness roll On grassy lawn. In sun and shade, The moments spring, Watch stillness trade A precious fling. Here for a while, Colours now tint, I sense a smile Style face and mint. My thoughts now rest On waves of rhyme, Soul feels fond zest Arise in time. Too soon, the world Cramps out free style, With haste, I swirl Away from smiles. Thus, I now spy The ebb and flow, Watch cares now try To alter glow. Yet I keep heart Light with sure light, Keep feeling art In fond insight. Leon Enriquez 29 November 2014 Singapore
