Butterflies, so quietly do you fly,
you have no song,
your wings do not creak or rasp,
you do not make a noise,
yet we still notice you,
as you come floating by.
You search, looking for a flower,
finding one, you float down,
drink some honey,
but you always leave,
a gift of love.
By paying with your passion,
many seeds are formed,
and when the wind blows,
the seeds fall,
floating down they travel far,
to fall again,
to make a union with the earth.
In time the seasons change,
then in silence,
new lives,
more lovely flowers are born.
Sweet Butterfly you came in peace,
silently you flew,
we noted your presence,
by the beauty that you are,
then quietly,
without any noise or fuss,
you helped to form new lives.
What a joy you are to all of us.
The greatness of poets is that they draw inspiration from unexpected sources and weave a web, a beautiful web around it, sometimes with irony, sometimes with allegory.. This is so sweet poem......

Hey Bob: Great poem! I like Butterflies because they are a thing of beauty. I bet many a poet has written about them, and rainbows and Humming birds. God bless all poets-MJG.
i am so in love with butterflies...they are sooo beautiful and innocent...and loved this poem filled with all the beautiful words and lovely imagery...! ! ! : D
I believe it was last May that I looked out of the window of the room where I create poetry and saw a flock of beautiful yellow butterflies dancing in the sunlight. I will never forget it. This luminous poem reminds me of that day. Lovely... Warm regards, Sandra
