Even Butterflies, Fly Through Clouds

Delightful in posture
In beautiful dreams
The grace of the butterfly
In gliding streams

They live their lives
As we all do
Battling elements
Some make it through

Some fall on the thorn
Others will wilt
While others prosper
Their future built

Do we know
Could they say it out loud
As they rise through the meadow
Even butterflies, fly through clouds

Keep at it James with the fantasy poetry .. I will search through my volumes of poems and see if I can find more fantasy ones to post... I also have a Butterfly poem posted... This one is so descriptive I can almost see them fluttering around me... Great job! Linda-Marie

Such a lovely title and much truth in your words, dear Highlander. Butterflies prefer the meadows, but controversy clouds all of our lives. I hope your butterfly spirit finds his way through the clouds and back to the meadow where future love awaits. Love you and your poetry! Carolyn
