Rewrite: Repost:


The Waltz of the Butterfly

I see this butterfly in view
Dressed in multi colored hew
And I am harmonized in stare
By the wonder of its fair

The twitter of its wings in stir
Sets my eyes and wits aver
And subtle music plays my ear
Every moment it is near

I wait for it to stop its flight
For just a moment to alight
So I my set it in my heart
Before it lifts, too soon depart

I would its spirit leave a trance
A Sprig of time a jig of dance
Upon a spree of breeze to be
To light my paths eternity

It would it be a nuance rhyme
To waltz upon my trance of time

Midst a yen for azure blue
sky to sing my heart anew,
in the cold of starless night
winter spread a blanket white.
Now butterflies on stained glass wing
gift my palm with Sy of spring!

Thank you!

I would be a butterfly's stripe
or a light upon your halo bright

Good afternoon, Sir Sonneteer

Thy feathered quill hath dipped into some delightful ink for this fine piece of graceful penning!

Thou be an amazing poet with a wealth of observations, wisdom, beauty, magic, and charm in your illustrious well!

Hugs with love,
EA
