Sapphire Skies and Butterflies

Ten Word Challenge from Silent One Words to be used: 1. plethora 2. evanescent 3. felicity 4. rhapsodic 5. idyllic 6.dulcet 7. chrysalis 8. radiant 9. sapphire 10. talisman A feeling of rhapsodic felicity overwhelms me as I contemplate natures radiant complexity Sapphire skies, pink clouds and butterflies emerge like the chrysalis from it's cocoon A plethora of stunning beauty surrounds me as dulcet tones of birdsong entrances me Idyllic conditions like Eden's splendour are reflections of our Creator's love and grandeur Like the butterfly our life is short and flutters by beauty is evanescent but temporarily transcendent No talisman is needed, paradise is sure to come with God's blessing all earth's damage, will soon be undone.
