Open Butterfly Wings

One day a butterfly flitting on the breeze
came upon and settled on the breast of me.
Words of wisdom it did carry on wings of softened beauty
Mother Nature at her best.

It’s lexis of wisdom
I…nearly missed,
there on the breeze of Mother Nature’s breath.
But
Quietly,
Unwearied
the butterfly in its beauty stayed upon my breast
waiting for its words of wisdom to rest upon
My life’s breathing breath.

Thus, when I did inhale the breath of life I need
the words of wisdom it did carry
became a part of me.

It told me of the beauty my life alone could have,
I must set aside my reservations…
waltz the rhythmic amplification inside of me,
Dance…
Dance… with the earth as god intended it to be
