The Butterfly Flutters By

The Butterfly Flutters By



Butterfly flutters by and glorious time stands still
  life springs forth and joy leaps to overfill
A beauty sent to bring heavenly and great delight
  like the glory of moon and stars on a clear night

Flashes of vibrant rainbows pass into the magic scene
  pureness, life emerging in a passing so serene
Pushing away all thoughts of trouble, pain and despair
  fluttering all about while landing here and there

Winged eye pleasing music as butterfly flies so well
  raining colors that forever last without fail
A pass, a solo and a double circle around my head
  soothing as a sweet dream resting in my old bed

Butterfly flutters by , sun and flowers deeply sigh
  Nature's finest art floating in scenic sky
Outshines their glory as it shows it's blessed gifts
  a flash of paradise proudly dancing that so uplifts

I liked the thought of time standing still when we see a butterfly, and stare in awe as it flutters by. You really captured the joy of those serene moments, Robert! Congratulations on your win!

Hey, Robert. I'm never a fan of butterflies but the way you've written this makes me want to just relax in a field at twilight as I watch them waltz with the light breeze above me.
