A Rural Blue Butterfly

I was having a heavenly day far from city noise, when a north wind swept me up, swirling and twirling; and tumbling, I found myself under a tree branch, beneath cool emerald leaves in a country wildflower field. Nearby, a raging stream flowed on it's twining journey, and a blue butterfly lay frozen in place, broken on a rock; waiting to die, I listened to the birds twittering brightly, and whispered to blue butterfly, I will not leave you. For hours I stay in this serene rural place of beauty and death, but my weary eyes closed and I had a dream of gliding; then, the sun caressed me and butterfly wings of blue, with delicate hues, only the Lord above could create. The sun rose higher in the azure sky and she waited, then, she lifted up in a gentle swirling breeze; and blue butterfly hovered, hesitated, then was gone, from this heavenly country idyll place far from city dwellings. _________________________ November 20, 2019 Poetry/Idyll/A Rural Blue Butterfly Copyright Protected, ID 19-1199-844-02 All Rights Reserved.
