Standing by the Sea I watched the waters butterfly Fly beneath the waters lie Darting in and out the blue An awe of wonder filled my view. I leaned and placed my hand below Felt a wind of undertow Held it quietly in rest Not to cause a moves molest But they are not like butterfly And do not trust strange imply And though I meant the kindest let They took it as a measured threat It is a thing that bothers me This common that I often see This special distance set in fear These hands held out don’t get to near. It is a sadness of the whole It is sadness to my soul |

I've thought the same thing at times...and it saddened me some...but a bodies gotta do what they must do...so, I decided instead of question, to respect that. This was my favorite.... I leaned and placed my hand below Felt a wind of undertow Held it quietly in rest Not to cause a moves molest absolutely beautifully described...I loved the softness and good intentions of it's sound. Though, this entire write was genuine and magnificant...one of my favorites I believe...astounding lesson for us all to think about...not treading on other people, even if good intended. Thanks for your care and have a good day |

I leaned and placed my hand below Felt a wind of undertow Held it quietly in rest Not to cause a moves molest I hear a heartbeat in this... I hear the quietest sounds... thank you, Sy.  |

This special distance set in fear These hands held out don’t get to near. It is a sadness of the whole It is sadness to my soul Oh, dear Seymour, I know of this feeling. You have touched me with your beautiful, yet sad words. Let's turn to the light! Love and hugs. Margherita |

Sy I loved the tender understanding in this. Colored like a cloud a tremble by the breeze a petal yet not up here I touch wind and sky and this one small butterfly  |

To day at school I got on the bus. every one was screaming and cussing. ........All I wanted to do is listen to my beetles. Yes... they were picking on the new girl... Made me disgusted. No wonder every one is afraid. there is reason. -Juju |
