Butterflies and the Sunrise--Anima

Becoming one with this watercolor painting of butterflies and the sunrise Stepping out of my bedroom and onto the canvas Touching baby blue powdered skies Violet, lilac, orchid majesty three purple hills across the horizon And rising just above Good morning blazing butterscotch sun Can't believe I'm standing below in the meadow Emerald grass so thick it cushions bare toes Dozens of butterflies aflutter, welcoming me in wings of translucent delicate petals and bows Breaking out of my cocoon, is like a rebirth Arms now adorned with sheer taffy hued butterfly wings They appear to glisten as honey sunrise shines through I feel so free flying with the other winged things Below the painting my orange tabby jumps and swats trying to capture me from these pastel hills and skies Don't you worry my pet, I'll return to the bedroom soon But for now I'm at one with butterflies and the sunrise 5/1/16
