Captured Glory!

Nature awakens
with great applause
As eyes open
to behold the magic
of your favor

Why cast down your head?
It is but the greatest of days
Your angelic presence has
ushered in my fortuitous destiny

I am in awe of your beauty
Angelic butterfly of enchanted wonder
Reflecting the many hues
of an endless rainbow

Take flight and be free
on the winds of rapture
Heaven bound in twilight
of blissful mourning

Sing salutations of delight
for you have blessed this
mortal soul with the gift
of rebirth

    Just Beautiful

    This is so uplifting and what a way to awaken in the morning with such a positive outlook. Oh yes the beauty of nature and the gentleness and beauty of a butterfly. This poem is so rich with imagery yet also full of wonderful wisdom. The flow was excellent and was a pure joy to read. Excellent, thank you so much for sharing your gift to write such a beautiful piece of poetry with me.
    Wishing You Many Blessings
    Much Love

    I enjoyed the optimistic presence in this poem. Simple, sweet- I find this poem comparable to a flower. 20 seconds well spent.

    My Goodness you are truly a gifted writer. This piece is so beautiful and I very much enjoyed reading it. I look forward to reading more of your work and you have outdone yourself on your Author Page it really shines. Thelonious J. Monk was the first cousin of my grandfather on my fathers side Joseph Monk. I have just started listening to jazz and find the music amazing. Didn’t know what I was missing lol God bless,

    Beautifully Calming

    Darell, this is truly beautiful. I love how the narrator addresses the other and how gorgeous and calming this whole piece is. It's obviously filled with such a vital energy, and yet it is so calming. I believe the title really captures this piece, captured glory, because of glory being so wonderfully grand and yet calming and exciting at the same time. That's truly what I feel from this piece. The rhythm and flow and word choice of the entire piece goes together beautifully, and I am really proud of this piece even if it is not mine. :-) I think butterflies are truly gorgeous creatures, and I believe you've served them well. Can't wait to read your next piece, Darrell.

    Take care,
    DreamersLoft

    I bought a relaxation tape (if you knew me you would not have to ask) it has the most calming music . This is the same to me like music that calms your heart rate and lets you smile.
