Little butterfly, here and there, moving petal to petal without scare. All the shade of summer morn, reflecting off gossamer wings aborne. Delicate yellow, purple hue, spotted orange and deep dark blues. No chains of life holding down, freedom of movement to flutter around. Landing so softly on a bloom, wings opening and closing to nature’s tune. What type of world would this be, without the butterfly flying free. Some say the butterflies are gentle souls, returning to life with their goals. Turning the mind so full of peace, making all troubles to worries least. Open yourself to their flying ballet, be a butterfly heart, this very day |

Very sweet and soft. I wrote a butterfly poem once, about my little granddaughters encounter with one. They are special creatures, a role model of freedom. Sandra |
