Alluring Butterfly

 

Softly, gently, you alight.
You hover over blossoms
so fragrant. Flitting
to and fro as if trying
to decide which flowers
hold the best-kept secrets.

If you could speak, I
wonder what you might tell
of your day’s work?
Dancing waltzes, you sway
to the music of breezes.
Quickly now a tango and

then off to the next
leaning flowers awaiting
your soft kisses. Oh,
little one, so merrily
hovering before a
quick sip of sweet nectar.

Will you return again
on the morrow and smile
at the colors awaiting
your visit? Or will you
travel onward to new
vistas? Endless journeys?

Meanwhile, I shall await
your return and marvel
at your beautiful and gentle
spirit. You bring hope and
comfort. Gift us your
peace and renew our souls!

We thirst for your presence!
Return quickly, gentle spirit.
Your colorful presence has
quieted my restless spirit.
Until we meet again, I
shall long for your return.
