Butterfly Visions

Love flutters like a Tiger Swallowtail
Bouncing over flowers, light as a sail
Lifting my heart on its wings in the air
This Spring day surrounded by nature's care
The chipmunks scurry across the stonewall
Where so many scattered leaves tend to fall
Some branches broken, but new ones have grown
On the hill, where gusts of high winds have blown
Twiilght can be silent without a sound
When bursts of revelations can be found
Love sustains the change of  light into night
With visions of butterflies still in sight

The last two lines are just classic. They are also what I think of as 'Vintage Heidi Sands,' where you join human emotions / love with Nature, blending them into an irresistible combination, such as the 'change of light into night, with visions of butterflies still in sight.' So well-penned! Warm wishes. ~ Gershon
