Extractions from dream, warm as beam with radiant light.

We're free to choose and use for greater good; nothing 

is to be abused. I saw a butterfly today, and my heart felt 

saturated with warmth.

Inspired by: (Aunt Olga Martha Valentine) Alone, you stood as golden dream, silent Some always fluttered about, others flinched But I still believe you were heaven sent From age to age with brilliance, you did teach. I clamored, savoring each wondrous view Good folks unite! There'll be songs, not a fight You've showered me with warm vibes good as news From valley to schoolhouse, then church, we both climbed high. Yes, will, wit, and wisdom does reign Two wings, metamorphosis, days of bliss You and I will never be the same Our Maker has ordained the course of this... Yet in His name, we're diamond in sunlight His touch to everyone grants new insight. *
