Path of Beauty

I had a special visit from a butterfly Fluttering around me, then it landed nearby As if it knew the mood I am in Opening its wings, like my feelings within It swirled around me, like a long lost friend Touching my heart as if it could mend All the old rusty pain that now shined in a flight Hovering delicately in my sight This butterfly gathered all of my dreams And flew away with wishes in the sunbeams Touching flowers as it said goodbye Leaving a path of beauty, where I can fly Heidi Sands 10/2/19 Placed 1st place in the Writing challenge October Butterfly poetry contest.
