Dancing With Butterflies

"dancing with butterflies"

as day breaks with promises
butterflies gracefully shadow me
causing me to be a ballerina
dancing effortlessly by the sea
everlasting is this moment of light
forever engraved with freedom
giving me a breath of oxygen
holding the thought to carry on

I enlist and follow the dream
joining beauty of butterflies
knowing they will show the way
leading to extraordinary senses
making the sun shine and moon glow
never a hesitation or missing beat
only open windows with possibilities
placing my soul alive and free

quietly all butterflies fly away
resting knowing my spirit is whole
sprinkling their grace upon me
taking with them darkness and pain

Adding this one to my FAVs list, Lisa. lovely thoughts and matching images through your poetic words, my dear friend. Butterflies are special to Sara and me. Her dad late in life took to raising them. A joyful experience for him and something that stays with us now that he has passed. Thanks for sharing this uplift poem with us. Hugs, Bill
