In dappled sun
a cloud of dancing souls,
joyful, sprung from tears
bring dreams to dreamers,
gliding high on
eloquent, painted
wings of grace.
A secret sense, of faith
in change from stage to stage,
from pain to peace
brings beauty’s soul to life.
Their wisdom shared:
within this earthly realm,
step shall follow step,
the journey is all.
Frail beauties’
lifetimes pass in moments.
Yet, time enough to pause
and warm their fragile wings.
And as I sat
beneath the sacred tree,
One carefree soul
lit on my shoulder.
In the instant,
a whispered wish
she granted and took flight.
And in the quiet of the dawn
I reach for you again
and dream of dreams
you take my hand

Serenity - That's all I can say. I know of few other phenomena than that of short and beautiful life of the butterfly. The serenity of the writer sharing alone this magical moment is perfect as it could not be experienced under any other circumstances. "gliding high on eloquent, painted wings of grace". Very well penned.

I enjoyed this read. It showed the beauty of the butterfly in words. I also like the way you word the short lived time a butterfly has and yet they spend it so wonderfully "frail beauties, lifetime passes in momoents. Yet, time enough to stop and warm their fragile wings." A lesson we could take from them. I love butterflies and I love this poem, a great tribute. Wonderful penning!

This is a wonderful vision of butterflies, and is as light and dainty as the subject itself. There is perfection in these words, and captures the essence and soul of everything beautiful about these creatures. I enjoyed this piece and hope others may in the future.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece, and please never stop writing! -
Very delicate. Your wording fit the butterfly theme. Almost every word choice here was elegant and as softly floating as a butterflies wings.

a beautiful lull of words, delicate like butterfly wings....thank you for entering

There is a true beauty about this piece, something instantly felt - even heard in soft whisper throughout the poem. I especially enjoyed:
"A secret sense, of faith
in change from stage to stage,
from pain to peace
brings beauty’s soul to life."
This speaks volumes within itself. Nicely done!
