Blue Butterfly

Wistful bounds the wind this day
Blissful soundings stay my ear.
Shadows dance upon the dew
Every twist to me is dear.

I watch each day in colors last
Rainbows for the eyes to see
Glory of the day in cast
Storied by the stars at sea.

Wander in a wonderland
The mystery of exist
Making castles in the sand
Taken by the tides insist.

The tide sweeps close to my door
Eats away the founding vain
Feet now wet upon the floor
Measure each and every grain.

I see a butterfly of blue
My hand lifts up to stay its view.

to the palm and the sugar held
butterflies pause, to gleam in dwell...

The one that tis held in thy hand ...
in turn holds you in thy heart ...
and wishes all thy dreams of blue come true
For you see ... its been that way from the start.

Sunshine,
Thank you dear. *L*

Sea,
Sweet comment, thank you.

Charisma,
Thank you dear. *L*

JM,
Your words are like a butterflies flight.
And I never quite get them right.
But my feelings are a steady flower
Comming from an Ivory tower.
Winkiewinkie Love

Seymour

Neverending
Words in blending
Butterfly thoughts
Flutter from penning
Blue on wing in rhyme
Touching hearts in time
Always in truest measure
Thoughtful verse of treasure

Love ya'

Your poetry is always enchanting, and I confess, this time I waited for JM's reply, as I KNEW, it would be equally enchanting!
You two dance a sweet tango!

Well, you KNOW this struck home with this reader. But I see don't see a literal butterfly at all, but the fleeting beauty of the sea, I see.

A wonderul poem, Seymour.
