Butterflies of Beauty

Vermillion butterflies of light  
cathedral thoughts their aim   
as they race towards
a splintered ray, they reign       
as Sceptres of love, 
for flowers immersed in rain

Beautiful prose depicting a warm, happy scene, my dear friend, well-worded poetry flows like the butterfly to bestow peace and happiness to the heart. Have a blessed weekend

Oh, so sweet! I love flowers but the butterflies they encourage to visit the garden are why I planted it. I love your poem, and the photo!
