Butterfly. A Poem.

Back and forth, flying around,

Way up high or near the ground,

I do know, where e’er you’re found,

Wondrous beauty does abound.

Fluttering by, here and there,

Sometimes dozens fill the air,

Colors bright with so much flair,

No finer coat could you wear.

Sitting, watching, as I do,

Colors seen in every hue,

Even when just one or two,

Vibrant beauty comes from you.

    • Once, foreverΒ  and for all ,

      We all have a call ,

      To play a role ,

      Whether big or small , short or tall ,

      Be and doΒ  the best you can

      to just play that role ,

      To grow more and more ,

      In the path of love roll and roll ,

      Love is beyond control ,

      To ride theΒ  waves ofΒ  sea hall,

      DoΒ  rise up even afterΒ  youΒ  fall ,

      reborn with the divine , you recall…

      Transcending your bodyΒ  ,

      You have a spiritΒ  and a soul,

      In darkΒ  times,Β Β  all wouldΒ  console …

      Tap into theΒ  infinity of God to recall,Β 

      So that walls of prisons shall fall,

      Apart To bring liberation ,Β 

      eternallyΒ  after all , …

      Decode and Reporgram the matrixΒ  ,

      For justice and awareness to install ,

      NourishΒ  the forestsΒ  in one land and all ,

      For BecomingΒ Β Β  better as a whole ,

      drops of rain wouldΒ  gather and scrollΒ  ,

      Blessings broughtΒ  to us asΒ Β  a waterfall, …

      Be grateful for all that is all in all ,

      No matter how large or small ,

      Be it in the spring or the fallΒ Β Β Β  ,

      All could shine brightly ,Β  completelyΒ  sacredly andΒ  whole ,

      Once , forever and overall …

      ( console means help )

  1. Lovely poem! πŸ¦‹ I wish a butterfly would show up on my balcony. I haven’t seen them yet this summer. They’re so beautiful and delicate, but I still don’t like insects. I guess they’re an exception. πŸ¦‹

    • Thanks Hilary! Yes, even though a lot of people don’t like insects, butterflies are usually an exception, just something about them, their beauty and being so delicate, that makes them attractive to people. How do you feel about caterpillars? πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ΊπŸŒžπŸ¦‹πŸ¦‹

    • No, not really, they are around all summer, starting in early May and right into September, some years into October though that is rare.
