Yellow Butterfly Watched a yellow butterfly Light upon a lilies lie Facing up into the sun Replacing daffodils undone. Moving on the yellow gold Fluttering slow on the fold Put a smile on lilies face With fragile wings of fragile grace Gave my heart a poke a stir Suffering on the smallest burr Shook the shadows of my mind Brought a light I would not find. And there I read a message sent By wings of grace on lilies vent Shot an arrow into despair. Stroked my heart in loving care. That lifted up a curtains gray And brought the sunshine to my day. |

sy? I just had to light on this one... even before I came here, butterflies, gave me special insight...and? the yellow butterfly...smiling in the memory, told me of "change" and? yes, indeed, grinning wide now, I WAS PREGNANT. And yep. I saw this butterfly twice. After, I was told...I could not hold a cocoon at all. Hugging myself and loving you for this one. Oh hell..I'll hug you and love ME twice--who cares if it's redundant? |

Facing up into the sun Replacing daffodils undone. Moving on the yellow gold Fluttering slow on the fold ===================================== Gave my heart a poke a stir Suffering on the smallest burr Shook the shadows of my mind Brought a light I would not find. And there I read a message sent By wings of grace on lilies vent Shot an arrow into despair. Stroked my heart in loving care. That lifted up a curtains gray And brought the sunshine to my day. ====================================== And what that flutterby did for you ... is the same that each day you do too. Each morn you bring soft sighs of poetic light ... as you sing to us of beloved butterflies in flight. Be it written upon dragon or butterfly wings We warm in the wisdom that your gifted words bring. *winkiewinkie*    ... and I don't know why ... |

A Beautiful spring tradition, when the butterflys come. And I agree, they can cheer me up too. I mean look at the transformative powers of a caterpillar. Love this, Sy. Sandra |

Seymour hi there this as mum says, a rare treat to seek out. Your writing is always so special and I don’t say that just to copy mum but because I know really good writing when I see it, and this is it. Well written I love it, and yes the words are beautiful, as is the presentation. This is stunning and something very special. The way this follows the line is exquisite   Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |

By wings of grace on lilies vent Shot an arrow into despair. Stroked my heart in loving care. That lifted up a curtains gray And brought the sunshine to my day." How often nature has poked me in the heart as well, and reminded me that there are so many little things out there to smile about. This is a keeper for sure. Thank you for the little poke this morning poet sir *warm hugs* ~Krista Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself. |

Shook the shadows of my mind Brought a light I would not find. Yes, they do that and more for us with their fragile beauty. Enjoyed. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Seymour my dearest friend you have an amazing wonderful talent, and this is very special. Sometimes and it’s rare a thought leaps between the eye and heart and connects with the inner self. How often you write something that is outstanding and stirs the soul. How frequently your words strike the harmonics of memory in my heart. I love this utterly utterly love it. Beautiful writing darling heart. I swear that if I could see my soul it would have written in indelible ink across it Seymour sings me  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |
