The Gentle Butterfly

The Gentle Butterfly

I was strolling through the park one day, in the summer’s golden glow;

The birds and bees were all singing, as I glided with their flow!

All at once on a lovely flower, I saw a gentle butterfly;

It’s wings were multi-colored, I threw a kiss as I crept by!

.

After only just a few steps, I felt a soft touch upon my arm;

I looked down and there it had landed, knowing I never would it harm!

We locked eyes for a precious moment, as it sent me all its love;

Then it fluttered and quickly flew away, to a tree so far above!

.

I felt a tear fall on my cheek bone, from this blessed epiphany;

For God had sent one of His creations, to bestow their love on me!

I shall remember it forever, the day I felt an insect’s soul;

The day The Gentle Butterfly kissed me, and “I love you” it me told!

.

The sweet butterfly

Lands upon my lonely soul

Again, it flutters

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,

My first epiphany when I came to Cosmo, was engendered by a remarkable response to my original posting, which I had submitted with trembling hands.  The very first comment I received, alleviated all my angst, for it's elegant praise brought happiness to my heart.  Of course, those awe inspiring words were sent to me by none other than you my dear friend.  Since that day, you have taken me to places that I never knew before.  I bask in the beauties of your words.

Peace, Love and Rockets,

Larry xxx
