~*~ Ms. Butterfly~*~



  

Exquisite fragile wings of beauty,
flitter over here, enlighten me,
show me how to fly so high ~
with elegance.

I'm captivated by your loveliness
with an air of gentleness
you add to this earth, a touch ~
of radiance.

Could I fly with you when you go
to the very end of the rainbow,
where peacefulness can be felt ~
in a glance?

~*~

'My earthly friend in
your confusion,
what you are seeing
is an elusion ~
a happenstance.

I'm just like you on the inside
where I so often go to hide
sadness, suppressed ~
in a trance.

If my luminescent appearance
brings you joy in abundance,
my rainbow job on earth is done ~
join in the dance.'

Oh Maggie - so pretty!

Here are some for you to go with your lovely verse.  There is no one writes butterflies like "Flutterwings". Lovely, as usual, Maggie you warmed my heart this morning as always.

Love, Sharon

so wonderfully delicate and floating. . .

you give that idea that you yourself are just here until you can spread those wings. . .

wonderful. . .

Sven ~ Thanks

The freedom of the butterfly is so much, what I think, everyone is looking for. The butterfly never becomes beautiful right away... She has to work hard to create her existance. After a lot of hard work and patience she breaks free of her cacoon.
Thanks for reading.... ((~.~))

Thanks Marge ~ Butterflys always hover around beautiful things ~.~ That is why I
fluttered here; I could feel the love and ambiance.     ((~.~))
