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

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/27/2016 3:46:00 PM this is really beautiful, Dineen. If it was entered into the Anima contest and did not win , I would say it's only because you had yourself change to a butterfly when the contest was about portraying the masculine aspect of your personality. this poem is a lovely work of art!! (so creative how you included the cat!) Login to Reply Dineen Williams Gault Date: 6/27/2016 9:18:00 PM Glad to know you feel that way about this piece Andrea, thank you very much. The contest portraying the masculine aspect of your personality...that was judged recently, correct? I didn't enter that one. Certainly appreciate your support.
