Nine Dancers

Wings stretched fluttering around flowers
Like a halo they possess power
Nine butterflies in a show spellbound
Celebrating all of beauty found
Some fly slowly and some rather fast
That makes this warm feeling somehow last
These tender creatures with dainty wings
Glowing in the lamp, the sky now brings
Nine dancers flutter as my heart sings!
