Notes About The Poem

"We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever" - Carl Sagan

Fluttering

Butterflies fluttering in the air,
A ballet of beauty, beyond compare, 
A silent marvel, humming a song in flight, 
Fluttering secrets, painted in the light.

The innocent laughter of a baby, so sweet and light, 
A flutter of wonder in love's gentle light. 
Giggles from the baby, radiating charm around, 
An enchanting sight, love in every fluttering sound.

Lovers' whispers flutter, waves entwine, 
Beachside moonlit dance, love's design, 
Nightingale sings their unifying tune, 
In the moon-kissed night, hearts commune

The fluttering heartbeat, a rhythmic song, 
A melody of life, where dreams belong, 
In the cocoon of dreams, as they unfurl, 
Flutter, dear heart, like a butterfly, swirl.
