Butterfly Dreams I dream what it would be like to be a Butterfly To see the wonder of their world through a thoughtful eye To taste the fragrant flowers and drink the morning dew And pry around the petals and pollinate a few I want to witness the magic of Mother Nature’s womb And be there at the beginning of a futures flower’s bloom To try to pry the difference between a petal and thorn And aide in the arrival of new seeds being born Do aerial dances with their buddy the bee And see if there are tears on the weeping willow tree Perch on a petal and watch the aphids play And live in a world where there’s no such thing as gray Imagine the vista and the intimate views Of the collage of colors and their heavenly hues And what would it be like to wake as something new Awake from a silken sleep and start life anew So some men dream they’re men That ply some special powers But I dream of being a Butterfly And frolic among the flowers Author Mr»ÄlleÿÇät copywrite© Ed Schmidt2001 |

Do aerial dances with their buddy the bee And see if there are tears on the weeping willow tree Perch on a petal and watch the aphids play And live in a world where there’s no such thing as gray Imagine the vista and the intimate views Of the collage of colors and their heavenly hues And what would it be like to wake as something new Awake from a silken sleep and start life anew So some men dream they’re men That ply some special powers But I dream of being a Butterfly And frolic among the flowers ================================== THIS IS WONDERFUL!!! From one butterfly dreamer to another...Welcome to Poetry Land... your cadence and imagery are a treat. Very well done poet sir... I look forward to reading more of your delightful work. take care jm  I'm not right ... you're not wrong ... |

Thank you Watersign, I'm so pleased someone thought enough of my work to tell others. Thank you Charisma, First time someone referred to one of my poems as a gem Thank you Mother, You don't know how much your placing this in your library means to me Thank you Sue, I love gardening to. Though I don't get much of a chance. It seems I'm either working, writing, or reading these days lol. Thank you ZZZ, Seems as that's what I've been doing. Sorry it took so long to thank you Martie, Yes I would sure love to get their view of the world. But I don't think they have glasses that small. lol Thank you Kit, Our world is full of magic, we have but to keep reading. Thank you all Mr»ÄlleÿÇät |
