The Scale

Today I am a butterfly
And flutter high to try my wings
I fly into a colored sky
To search the view of dreamers things

My breakfast is flowers nectar
Blooming in amongst the trees and
If lucky, I find a sector
Of lady butterflies to please

It is a world light and airy
Full of wonder and fantasies
A world of phantoms and fairies
With places full of ecstasy

It is the other side my scale
On the left of the balance pole
It is a place I post my bail
To equalize and rest my soul

A positive for negative
With just enough to let me live

Let me metamorphose, so I might fill your sky
with each and every color, to please your astute eye
a bit of gold, touch of blue, iridescent green
a little bit of butterfly, but never touch Moth Queen...

How wonderful, to live in the world of butterflies.

And I love the imagery of you being a macho little male butterfly pleasing all the ladies!

You monarch, you!

I wrote this for you a long time ago. It seemed, again, to be an appropriate response!
(((HUGS)))

On Gossamer

On gossamer your soul soars high
As gentle as a butterfly
Adrift upon the springtime breeze
Wings flutter with such grace and ease.
In meadow fair or hill or glen
You drift aloft and bless again
With ev’ry word from your pen wrought
Those walls it seems have only taught
A little higher, friend, to fly
There is no limit to the sky
To any door you hold the key
To open it poetic’ly
Across the chasm wide you sail
Portraying truth, you never fail
On gossamer fly ever high
As gentle as that butterfly.

12/99
