Flights of the Butterfly

Flights of the Butterfly


Looking at the butterflies dancing decoratively divine
Their wings tickle & flutter the acoustical ambient air
Enthralled by their ethereal beauty as they intertwine
My eyes drawn to infinity in a pensive peaceful prayer

Butterflies within the morning seductive seclusive sun
Melodies of motion that move the silent secular heart
Blissful flights at depleting dawn have magically begun
Shamanist symphonies surrounding served ala carte

Exhibits of eternal etchings amidst a life aching archaic
They too can achieve upon flights of dimensional dance
Wondering works of ancestral art of a masters mosaic
For I sit amongst the daffodils and watch as they prance

My heart fulfilled with love as they float gracefully away 
For the rewarding genial gestures thus exist as they play.

To feel the wind, to glide- simply embracing each moment within. Again and again. Yes, I wish to be this free. To be elegance whispering along the sky. Like the beautiful, peaceful butterfly. My Warrior with Wings, your thoughts take me there. I am smiling. :) Love and Flutter-by moments. ~ Brandy

Reading your poem is as delightfully delicious as the reward I received last month when I released 6 Monarchs in flight. I had collected them from milk weed as caterpillars, provided more of the leaves until they formed chrysalis' and then emerged. It was so wonderful to watch them morph into such beauty...Laney
