The Scale of Words

Words light butterflies on our sense
Fly in bright of hues dispense
Vibrate chords of inner feel
Play the lauds of minds appeal.

Touching the lowest low and high
The deepest deep the highest lie
Shooting arrows to a point
The furthest sow defines anoint

It registers unique with each
A flower on your shoal your beach
With mortar of the metaphor
It magnifies the evermore

And winds of symbols bind the sail
Taught the lines to find the whale
Where desperation curses age
The closing curtains of your stage

Light handles on your Christmas tree
Like candles light eternity.

I could not have asked for a more beautiful poem on this beautiful August 1st Sunday morning! You just let me know when you get tired of the sun lighting up your days...

Nah, don't...

because you couldn't keep me away with a butterfly net!
