When boughs break in Gale’s stormy tantrums, leaving us with rubble and rivers of waste, we are yet thankful for scenic streams and a gentle whisper-breeze. For each cloudburst and windstorm underscores the Truth, we are all connected as One. The butterfly that wings itself over a rare desert infloresence releases the flower scent-essence, much as the winds send a leaf aloft to ride the airstreams encircling Gaia, that each of us may know and cherish the unique beauty of a single petal or solitary leaf. |

Even the fallen ones are not lost as they serve a purpose in the big scheme of things. I think your wind is headed my way today! Enjoyed your writing, as always. |

This lovely poem makes me think of the "butterfly effect" in chaos theory, the concept that the flickering of butterfly's wings could possibly cause changes in atmosphere beginning or not beginning a series of events. In your poem, you begin with the end result and move back to the butterfly. Beautiful. [This message has been edited by ArtSolstice (01-30-2008 02:26 PM).] |

Very, very beautiful. dear Lady. I read this one to my daughter this morning. And I explained those verses to her. Since I started as "imaging this," After I have done, she asked "where is the rainbow?" I didn't expect this. So where is the rainbow? My dear Lady?  Always beautiful and love the read. have a wonderful day. |

another most fine Gaia stewardship 'write!': I am especially fond of: “For each cloudburst and windstorm underscores the Truth, we are all connected as One” And: “The butterfly that wings itself over a rare desert infloresence releases the flower scent-essence, much as the winds send a leaf aloft to ride the airstreams encircling Gaia, that each of us may know and cherish the unique beauty of a single petal or solitary leaf.” Applause!! |
