From butterfly wings time drops onto land  
feathered brush strokes of deep purple delight,
a mixture and blend of two holding hands
in the sweet, ever sweet, extension of life.

Swirls yellow and green, the colours of me
in the twilight to be after this dream,
caught like the sun and moon up above
in heaven’s own sky of eternal love.  

Travels the wisp of soul’s deepest wish,  
a ground to air missile looking for red
propelled and led by the seemingly dead.

How real in these days the flourish and swish
of time’s tender touch from butterfly wings?
Be still! Can you hear?  The mocking bird sings!

Thank you, Jo.  Yes, the right mix of colours can certainly cause a flutter.
