To touch a Butterfly We often hover o’er our dreams To touch a sate among the themes To agitate a state of spur To extricate a state of purr We often glance among the trees To see the way of honey bees Dip into a phantoms pleasure Taste the honey of its treasure We swing and sway the shadows stay Articulate a certain day A moment close to ecstasy A safety box of treasury And here among our ego’s notch As warming as a shot of scotch We warm the inners of our heart By sipping of the past depart Withdrawal for a rainy day From something we have put away |

Beautiful and !!!!! Read many times and this is my understanding if not have a mis-in front The dreams are not common dreams The themes are every day’s themes The spur is spur of the past The purr is the purr of memory The trees are the spring trees The bees are the dancing bees a phantoms pleasure is the dreamed pleasure the treasure is the sweetly leisured treasure Yesterday’s story stays In a concentrated juicy day in a long missed ecstasy in a deeply buried treasury To boost up ego a notch In a shot of aged scotch To bring back the drunken heart The Past turned against depart In sacred place in a sunny day To have the honey preserved memory stored away Have a wonderful night and a great weekend, Sir Tabin. |

You know I have never held a butterfly long enough to examine it, would my touch be enough to destroy it? All I know about bees is they make honey and stay about fifty miles away from them SC |

You are "always" a quality read Sy ... you never fail to set that little tap-tap rhyme and flow going in this ol' gal.  |
