~* Butterfly *~

The silken rain
breathed against her wing
tilting her slightly
towards the rainbow

and I watched her
shelter beneath
yellow daisies
that complimented her grace

holding her softly
between outstretched fingers
she drinks from

I could feel her exhale
as the wind
touched my cheek
the way she does my heart ~

deeply

Your words brought such truly beautiful images to mind. They flowed with an elegance that many poets find hard to capture.

My best wishes to you in the contest.
