Butterfly, Butterfly
Where did you go?
You rested on my cheek
I felt the fluttering of your wings
You flew on to my hand
I gazed at your beauty
all your colors shining
brightly with the sun
Did you have a message for me?

There is inspiration in so many place and beautiful thing, Just some time we don't take the time to observe the things around us.

Angels come in the smalest of forms its truly beautiful

I like where this poem is going, but somehow it doesn't seem to get there. It feels incomplete. You pose the question, asking the butterfly if it had a message for you. Valid enough. Is the butterfly merely a butterfly? Or does it symbolize something deeper, a message or an answer you're seeking -- and perhaps are reluctant to confront or express?

thumbs up
This was fantastic and inspiring. Simple but so well written. You have a great ability in your writing. -
A beautiful bright piece! Very simple and yet so touching. It says a lot in few words, about the sheer bounty of life, and the desire of one's soul to crave for its goodness! It leaves the reader craving for more of your words. Such is its flow. Superb!!

Ahhh... yes. Inspiartion can come from anywhere at anytime! Beautifully written. i sound like a broken record with that line, but you have a special gift, my friend, for writing from the heart. Keep the ink flowing in that direction. Love and hugs...

I like this piece. I often find myself wondering is maybe animals have something to tell me about myself, or the world around me.

Hooray!!!
I think the butterfly was telling you that you are kind and sweet and that you can be trusted. I speak butterfly you know! -
Oh how sweet this poem is. Lovely visual imagery in it. Very beautiful. Thank you for the good read. RobinRae.

remind me of angels.
short but very sweet piece
thank you for sharing -
this is such a tender sweet poem
It reminded me of Blake's poem "The Lamb"
It is simple yet sends out a greater message on beauty and providence.
Great job.

Nice, sweet write. Good flow and imagery. They always seem to have a message when they come to you and they are so beautiful and amazing. Yet another example of the wonders of nature.
Insperation comes from many things and many unexplained moments.
I really enjoyed it, it made me smile. -
lol I've had that happen before. I wish we could talk to animals; oh the stories they'd tell and wisdom they'd share! Cute piece.
