Which Nectar I storm from cold to hot to cold From bold to weak, from weak to bold To joy to sad, from sad to joy My mind can’t stay, steady employ I vacillate in all I do From new to old and old to new I oscillate from side to side In neither do I take a pride I would a port to stay the din A seat of thought to reign within I would a scale to mind the tide I would a bale to stay, abide I’m a phantom in the air Still searching nectar flowers bare The good and bad my heart partakes Perhaps it is a sad mistake I suckle on the flowers why This butterfly sigh’s heavy sighs |

Very poignant; I especially loved the lines: I’m a phantom in the air Still searching nectar flowers bare |

Sounds perfectly natural to me. The butterfly... feeding upon the nectar of the rose... and the thistle. ::smiles:: Even upon feces... they find rest. ::shrugs:: LOL |
