Butterfly Kisses

Can you hear the sound of gossamer wings stroking the air? A brightly colorful papillon makes its way without much care. Few things found in nature are as beautiful as this. Just a short time ago, it emerged from its chrysalis. The grounded larva has undergone a metamorphosis. In this sultry summer season is where you belong. No wonder you inspired Bob Lind to write a song.

I love poems about animals and insects. Great poem. The first line is a gem. "gossamer wings stroking the air" as a butterfly of love. Bob Lind now that takes me back.
