Dust Upon Butterfly Wings

We are the dust upon butterflies’ wings Musical notes on wind that sings Grains of sand in on unspoiled beaches Whispered words in poetic speeches We are tiny fragments in endless space Revolving mindless without trace Softest velvet on fragrant petals Silvery dewdrops that gently settles We are powdery pollen on stamen tips Which kiss the bees with enticing lips Downy plumage of preening geese Comforting feel of warmest fleece We are the angelic touch of love’s caress Giving freely without duress Dancing in sunny rays of light And dreaming into the darkest night
