butterfly dreams ...

sparkling wings of blue and gold
rains a shimmer upon our hold
left behind to fly no more
butterfly dreams seek to soar

summer's season so utterly brief
life's work awing with no relief
from north above farther cooling north
to southern light's warming warmth

numbers so vast on journey's start
dwindles to few who have the heart
let wings sparkle their mazen shimmer
butterfly dreams fly on to glimmer

For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

It's so sad when the butterflies leave and the snow comes, but it brings me warmth knowing they've flown on for others to enjoy   Great poem.

I enjoyed your light imaging here, also, and the cadence of your accentual verse. Lovely.

MAMiller~
What a lyrically lovely flutter on wing.

'numbers so vast on journey's start
dwindles to few who have the heart
let wings sparkle their mazen shimmer
butterfly dreams fly on to glimmer'

We often think of the fragility of the butterfly ...
and yet their strength is what takes them
as far as it does.

Beautifully rendered.
