Touch of Tenderness

Touch of Tenderness:

In the quiet of the evening sky,
My eyes caught the flutter of a butterfly.
Gliding through the silence of time,
Drifting with a passion that rhymes.
       ~~~~~~~ooo~~~~~~~

Just like the soft reach of a  lovers reception,       
The wings dance with gentle precision.               
Changing the butterfly`s pattern,               
To a dance with the pulse of passion.
       ~~~~~~~ooo~~~~~~~

The wings create soft sounds of emotion,
Singing the notes created for devotion.
When the lovers heart reaches the line,
Created by the wonders of time.
       ~~~~~~~ooo~~~~~~~

Gently the butterfly closes her wings,
Floats on all the enchantment she brings.               
Touching the breeze with gentle affection,
Ending the dance with tender perfection.
       ~~~~~~~ooo~~~~~~~
