I just love to see a beautiful floating along in mid air and from flower to flower. It's like the humming bird gathering nectar. Come to think of it, the pretty wings of the butterfly may even have gathered their beauty from you! LOL!!! Great job! ~Joseph

This is so true about God's messengers. They remind us that as spiritual beings we can overcome any thing and that death is only a transition period to a better and more blessed existence. Thank you for sharing this spiritual verse Katherine. Thanks also for your kind comments on my poem. Blessings, Margaret.

Yes, the butterfly is a remarkable creature, full of spirituality. I had a monarch butterfly land on my shirt-front once, and seconds after it landed upon me, it died - and still, it clung on, even after death. :( I marked that moment as life changing for me, and as a very personal, and spiritual experience. Loved this haiku, Kristin
