Lick me with your...

A Bug’s Life

I hate bugs that annoy me. 
You know the ones. 
The hit and run, touch and go… hahaha.

A Grand Design


Through nature’s symbiotic grand design—
They share each other’s gifts in perfect plan;
The honeysuckle’s offering of thick
Sweet nectar which the butterfly consumes,
While pollen carried safely will transfer
To other blooms—create new life in turn.

Bright and blue the dainty butterfly was
Kissing each flower “hello” as she passed
Gently landing on their blooms without pause
She scurried carefree, till enough nectar she’d amassed

Raised in captivity in Georgia’s butterfly pavilion
This sapphire wonder had...

In a corner room of a Guest House

As the beauty of the garden did amuse

It was the early morning Sunlight

Sacred silence
Blended with praise
For the Creator, who always will amaze
Quietly hovering, winged splendor
Beautiful like the vibrant hues
Glazed in whispered dreams

Magnificent, painted in exciting tints
Melodious aspirations kindled
Beneath...
