Flights of the Butterfly
Looking at the butterflies dancing decoratively divine
Their wings tickle & flutter the acoustical ambient air
Enthralled by their ethereal beauty as they intertwine
My eyes drawn to infinity in a pensive peaceful prayer
Butterflies within the morning seductive seclusive sun
Melodies of motion that move the silent secular heart
Blissful flights at depleting dawn have magically begun
Shamanist symphonies surrounding served ala carte
Exhibits of eternal etchings amidst a life aching archaic
They too can achieve upon flights of dimensional dance
Wondering works of ancestral art of a masters mosaic
For I sit amongst the daffodils and watch as they prance
My heart fulfilled with love as they float gracefully away
For the rewarding genial gestures thus exist as they play.

The Nebra Disc.....
tool of antiquity,for them then
not so ancient reality.....
As above,so below
to fall,to recieve
Cup shaped vessel
recieve messages celestial
on the outer edge,left to right
images of darkness and light
from chaos to order,heavenly sight
Shamanist or cosmologist
destined order should be humanist
animalistic we continue
as we struggle to evolve,altruistic....
