 Butterfly and Me...Haikus Summer breezes touch silken skin resting 'neath clouds absorbing sun's warmth garden within sight eyes view petals opening butterfly settles reaching into center dipping into natures well thirsting of nectar parched by the heat sipping iced liquid, refreshed butterfly and me M/M |

thank you, Butterflies_dont_cry you caught me in the middle of responding to others on here so I am a bit out of sync...yes I love butterflies and my first poem ever was this one when I was trying to get out of my "funk" that brings so many of us to poetry Like A Butterfly I had shut myself off, from the outside world These last two years. Never feeling the warmth of a sunrise ... Never watching the beauty of a sunset ... Always hoping for a miracle ... Always wishing for a dream come true ... Until that day when you appeared And suddenly, I felt, as if I could finally break out Of this protective cocoon ... Wanting to be free ... Spreading my wings... And learning to fly all over again As if it was for the first time ... Wanting to experience all the joy The world has to offer In the short time that I will be here ... Before the end comes. M 9*98 thank you again...butterflies have great meaning to me... ~~soft smiles Maureen |
