In the Clouds

A Yellow Swallowtail Butterfly lands
Upon Purple Wild Petunia's blossom
Sipped a drink of nectar, flew; life unplanned

Soon the sunny morn turns into eve; clouds come
Thunder and lightning off in distance sound
Cool air floats, peace overtakes, all succumb 

Morning brings solid clouds, will these confound
Like the cloud that filled the Holy Temple
All that Holy area did surround

A cloud that lead Israel's children gentle
All the way from Egypt to Canaan land
His appearing will be transcendental

A Yellow Swallowtail Butterfly leaves
His soon coming to this my spirit cleaves 


Finis'...

Looks like you did it again, sweet lady. You mixed nature with the spiritual and came up with a great poem. Congrats in the terza rima contest.

This is a totally awesome beginning of a Terza Rima! I'm glad to see you work on this form, it is difficult to master, which I still haven't done myself, but this is a terrific start of this write! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this delightfully naturalistic poem this evening! Great Work!!
