Once cocooned in silken wrappings
Now unsheathed, no more trappings
Dancing lightly from bloom to bloom
Heady kisses of nectar and perfume
Painting the air with fluttering wings
Movement in colors-joy that sings
Elegant patterns that swirl in the light
Minute artworks of passion and delight
With beauty and charm and grace endowed
Magically drifting, softly as the clouds
Oh please! come near and teach me how to fly
I will sing with you as we soar through the sky
You, tiny angel, bringing joy on the breeze
As you kiss the flowers and touch the trees
Free as the wind, in majestic beauty so divine
Casting the rainbow as you touch the sunshine
Oh my dear butterfly, do you still remember me?
When I was a child, I followed you near our tree
I still adore you and you know the reason why?
You will always be in my heart-there is no goodbye

Lovely poem, super imagery. Favourite part:
'Once cocooned in silken wrappings
Now unsheathed, no more trappings'
It's a lovely description of a butterfly's birth. No least favourite part so thank you for sharing.

What a wonderful read this was. This piece has a hidden melody to it. Soft words spoken for those creatures so rarely scene. You have to be in the right place at the right time. Or give them an invitation to your garden. The Imagery is lovely as well, Thanks for sharing. UNT

excellent!!
I love this romantic poem. I relly love any poem on nature( romantic) The poem says a lot here, but many people may no know. It looks at natural beauty, as portrayed by the beautiful butterfly. The artistic designs engraved on the small but pretty creature is great. I love this really. Really, true love doesn't fade, not even the inevitable time can erase it ,if truly it's true
"Oh my dear butterfly, do you still remember me?
When I was a child, I followed you near our tree
I still adore you and you know the reason why?
You will always be in my heart-there is no goodbye"
Keep up thge work friend!

"What are we gonna do tonight Brain?"..."Same thing we do every night, Pinky, try and take over the world!!!"...One nomination down, hahahaha...just kidding...Thanks so much for the strong support Allan. Unexpected and appreciated and as always, a delight to see your avatar. (A smile would be ruinous I suppose?...lol)Peace, Rhonda

This puts me in mind of the situation comparable to how, in a dream, we can hear or see an answer as if coming from someone else. How it's actually from your own truth which is never any further away from you than the questions and yes, always in the heart.
I hear you addressing and asking from an aspect of your own self, which already knows the knowledge which is asked for and has taken this 'flight'.
A lovely piece of work!
Sol
