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

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,

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.
