 If I painted the night sky The deepest shade of Ebony Handing you each perfect star Wrapped in luna’s sweet honey If I stole the sunrise morn Twirling colors ‘fore your eyes Waltzing with those prism rays ...multicolored butterflies If I caught the softest sigh And carried it to your dreams Releasing it over you Smiling soft as it redeems If I played the angel choir Laws of beauty it defies Melodies sweeter than hope The gossamer winged lullabies If I decorate my heart In shades of jade and sapphire Would you finally see my love And know all that you inspire If I showed you destiny Displaying this natural art Would you dip your soul in mine Creating a work....of heart |

My Butterfly kid, you have painted the most beautiful picture! I can't tell you which line is the most wonderful because they each compliment each other. I love each and every word. Love and hugs, butterfly mom |

butterflies, I don't know what to say that would bring this the justice that it deserves - I can only say that your poem is a work of art itself, the last few lines were creative, very lovely! |

This is so beautiful, I am speechless!! It flows so well and seems to sing soft and sweet like a lullabye. Excellent writing, Holly. I believe you have found your wings again, my friend.
