This poem is dedicated to a very special friend of mine...Samantha Kennedy!!!

Velvet Butterfly
By: Noah Eaton
8/11/01

Sweet butterfly, oh, velvet butterfly
Whistle your ballad in the gentle rosemary vale
God gave you a name of grace
Little Butterfly, may you grow and have angels hail

Kaleidoscope whim floods her rainbow wings
A candid daughter to angels of the earth
Spreading myriads of colors from meadows to the top of the mountain
Gracing lilies of the valley, harping bridges of light against a prism hearth

A star in broad daylight, taking flight ‘neath azure lagoon skies
Like an arrow launched from a fair maidens tower, calling for her prince
Sleeping on castles in the sky, true beauty never feigned
Her heart sings with miraculous beauty, crowned in married bliss

Damasked in the sunlight, flittering sunbeams in an arbitrary dreamscape
Surpassing beauty adorned in dandelion and autumn-leave robes
May your voice be your beautiful intimacy
And every chance you get, let your wings be aflame in dance and soul

Sweet butterfly, oh, velvet butterfly
He gave you this sweet name
May all you meet be admired by your loveliness
Little Butterfly, may today be another sunny day

Congratulations Noah on your 500th post!  

Well, I'm sure that you know how much I love anything that has to do with butterflies, and this was a lovely dedication with some great imagery  

Take care,
