This is based on a movie that I seen yesterday. It’s about the valley of the grapevine when
frost threatens her demise. The people of the land come with sheer butterfly wings and
gently fan, from the fire pots, warmth so the frost will not kill the sacred vine.
Love Bon-Bon




Butterfly Wings

He came to this land that was unknown to his wild heritage.
The beauty, the freshness, assailed his tender nostrils.
He breathed in this beauty and it touched his very soul.
A young girl he did meet-
They soon become man and wife
and he..... loving the land.....
as if she was a jealous woman asking for his very soul.
Now this land a productive kingdom
and
the woman in her love for the man has born him many sons and daughters
for this sacred land of the vine.
High atop a mountain grows a vine given to him as a gift,
binding family integrity
and
hundreds of years of Spanish heritage.
When the wind blows-
A chill of frost will threaten to freeze the
beauty from the life giving vine.
In fire pots smoke and heat rise-
Men and women
ready to sacrifice their spiritual self
Raise their voices high in reverent supplications.
Each wear the delicate wings of the butterfly.
As they gently stride about this
field of sweetness.
They give the vine the gift of warmth and life.
What inspirational devotion, captured, within these sacred fields.
When the frost kisses the vine
and then......the life giving kiss of blanketing the vine with the frail delicacy
of
Butterfly Wings.
