Notes About The Poem

- Green Butterfly -

A small wingbeat from a butterfly

                             A color that makes the mind spin ~

                              The dream of a summer meadow

                    Lie on your back in the grass and look at the sky

                                        and dancing clouds

                                  The butterflies do not count

                                           months or years

                                    ... but living in the moment

                                        Thanks for stopping by
