your home...between the earth and sky in spring...you burst from your cocoon in time with mother nature's tune and when you spread your speckled wings you echo of eternal things the spectre of those wings in flight sweet whispers of eternal life as toward the heavens...you ascend a symbol that life never ends flying through eternity exalted beauty...fancy free so butterfly...please flutter by remind us that we never die and loved ones whom we thought had gone live on...somewhere...somewhere beyond soaring through the earthly mists to enter heaven's timeless bliss casting off their human forms like you...from your cocoon...reborn copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |

Butterflies are such a beautiful part of nature, and you have painted them as such a wonderful reminder of the nature of life. Thanks for posting this one ... I shall keep it close to my heart. ~What is cherished most is what must be the hardest fought for.~ |

When I replied to Titia to thank her for her reply...this poem disappeared... It became unlisted somehow. So I searched for it and found it and now I am just bumping it up so that Titia can see that I did answer her reply...... I hope thats okay!  copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |

Thanks so much, Vickie and Larry. When my first husband was dying,  I asked him to send me a sign that there was something after death. He said he would.At his burial, just as the coffin was being lowered into the ground....a big beautiful, swallowtail butterfly flew out of the grave. Needless to say, everyone was astonished! The Rabbi said he had never seen anything like that happen before! and thats why I wrote this poem! copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |

Lyra - This is a beatiful write. It flowed elegantly from one stanza to the next. It definitely deserves another flight to the top. Dave |
