Tattooed Contemplations Butterfly bottlebrush bowers brushed her bangles, as to looseleafed shadows she bent her head, contemplated, then lowered to the bench to sit, lightweight, alone, watching in sly eye the dance of summer in profuse gay, wishing an attitude would wear as well as the bouncing wings before her,  and then… then… lone butterfly of yellow/black stripes came to find this woman’s nectar, for she scented air zones with vanilla bean oils, butterfly hovering its shadow lightly here, there, tattooing its bounce hither to yon in dance oblivious to winds pushing, as if butterfly had invisible lines, puppetmastering woman’s skirt to dance in cadence with butterfly’s song, woman watches as butterfly shadows speckle her thoughts wind lifting skirt to sky then back to rest upon bronzed thigh flower, allowing a brief sigh, butterfly to light, turning to eye woman fold its wing in prayer, then, begins lifting her in freedom |

 (smiles) Oh my gosh, when I read this, I envisioned the sight of a tiger swallowtail flittering like a plastic bag in the breeze on the prairie and the woman holding it by the tip of her finger, this is gorgeous, I LOVE IT!!! This is one of my favorites of yours yet, I am adding this to my library now, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

and you want me to teach you. . .  I'd say that it would have to be the other way around my friend. . .  ------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

to sit, lightweight, alone, watching in sly eye the dance of summer in profuse gay, wishing an attitude would wear as well as the bouncing wings before her, so perfectly expressed, Karilea... butterflies are lovely creatures and of course, always well dressed and dancing the dance of summer... ~ butterfly hugsLyra |
