Instinct

Destination aimless
love floating like
a fragile butterfly
scrutinizing
surfaces on which
to safely alight.
 
Between the
terrestrial and 
the celestial
discerningly;

My love hoovers
beaming in on a 
familiar stream of light.

Another traveler 
circling same time;
Together we land 
in a poppy field;

Allowing ourselves 
this time, perhaps
to trust happenstance.

A very dreamy verse! [terrestrial and earth.] I think you mean the celestial and earth ... because terrestrial means of earth so you're saying earth twice? Light & Love

Instinct, my dear Vicki, is knowledge stored by nature in the innermost part of our soul that our conscious is not aware of! Beautiful images floating between celestial and terrestrial reality! Very well done!
