Butterfy Night I Knew You Were Waiting

Butterfly Night I Knew You were Waiting

The night was tenderly, loving, so warm and still!
Lo, I stepped outside and found a golden butterfly 
with wings etched in darksome black,
Resting on my bountiful window sill.

My mind into a mental fury stretched.
Where was the butterfly mother and
his butterfly friends?
I took a chair to be with him, his beauty
beguiled me so!

If you can in communication with any
of God's creatures be, so blessed art thee!
He softly spoke, with a message for me.
Reminding me with a velvet voice.. 
To always turn the other cheek.

To never take,as the bard so well said.
" the slings and arrows of outrageous
fortune" and allow them to dance in 
my capricious head.

I thanked him for his lovely message,
He allowed me to caress his softness.
I lifted him in my palm to God's moonlit sky.
And tears of gratitude filled my eyes,
As his utter softness flew into the Spring sky.

A gorgeous write where you have made the butterfly seem truly real, and a part of your world. "Where was the butterfly mother and his butterfly friends?" - your empathy and concern apparent in this line. I feel I am there with you, trying to see his truth, and live it with you both. Nicely done, my friend. Wow! Bravo!
