Notes About The Poem

A Photo Taken in my yard.

Touched By a Butterfly

I was touched by a sweet butterfly
As it fluttered around me
Then quietly landed nearby
I could only watch to see
Where it would go next to be
A gentle, perfect creation flew
High and low from flower to tree
A magical flight moved me to be
      ---- Ever So Free ----

Quoth Theraven June 12, 2020 at 10:02 AM Heidi, The moving lines and fragile nature of creation. I see them through your lines in 'Touched by a butterfly'. -Richard Heidi Sands June 12, 2020 at 11:18 AM Hi Richard. Thank you so much. Interesting, they are blooming right now and I just saw the Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly on them again, the other day! Just as this was. They love them. I appreciate your comment. I have let the troubles in our country get to me too much and have ended up blocked with writing. I have to keep trying. Take care :)
