Rescued By Butterflies
As the fairy lay floundering
Upon the sodden earth
Drowning
Then frowning
Glancing skywards
She witnessed what she thought
Was a swirling rainbow
Which began to hover all around her
As a multitude of butterflies
Of a myriad hues
Began to flap their wings
With such great energy
The fairiys' wings began to dry
And soon was able to fly
Caught within a soft, and silky Zephyr
As she pirouetted skywards
Into the sky, and beyond
Returning to that other place
Where the ethereals reside

From a different perspective
Question about what you think and believe that what you see 👁️👁️ For have you ever seen through the eyes of nature, as it sometimes is a reflection of life, told from a different perspective of a mother and child 🙏 For sure there are some similarity that really reflects, the deepness of the moments of birth, from a WOLF mother's eyes watching over her young child, supporting them and to teach them how to survive 😔 in life. But yet it's here in the nature zone, in the mountains and tree's in the forest life is very different. HERE from the outside...

Butterfly Eyes
My butterfly eyes
Lashes afluttering
Winking in the wind
They close
Like butterfly wings
Folding together
As sails of a yacht
Swaying in the cross breezes
Of the imagination

Flying high on powdered wings
Sing me songs of broken things
Broken bones and broken hearts
I pray we never fall apart
A trap, a cage, a prison cell
Drag me through the gates of hell
But nothing could hold me back for long
I fell in love with your broken songs
Sing me songs of broken things
Broken bones and broken hearts
I pray we never fall apart
A trap, a cage, a prison cell
Drag me through the gates of hell
But nothing could hold me back for long
I fell in love with your broken songs

Mothballs
Cocooned between the rainbow twilight
And the rising moon
The metamorphosis failed
No butterflies emerged
A moth instead
Beautiful in its way
Lover of the dark
Slave to the flame
Death mask upon its wings
The horror
The corporate mothballs
Dropped in the night
They prayed to Uranus
To Gaia
To Cronus
To Zeus
And the rising moon
The metamorphosis failed
No butterflies emerged
A moth instead
Beautiful in its way
Lover of the dark
Slave to the flame
Death mask upon its wings
The horror
The corporate mothballs
Dropped in the night
They prayed to Uranus
To Gaia
To Cronus
To Zeus

Nature Moving
One only waxes poetic,
Recounting nature's perfect kinetics.
Uses only immaculate phrasing,
To emphasise how amazing,
The stems, heavy hips.
The dropping of honey drips,
From the honeycomb,
That it's swaying whips.
The bee, hovers over, with power.
But gentle, goes into her flower.
The plosion of pollen.
What remains, the wind devours.
The cyrsos that conceals
A mirage that is real.
In flutters, her wings are spread,
A sensuous reveal

Mind Obesity
In the labyrinth of his mind he wandered.
A man with thoughts as heavy as lead.
His brain, swollen with ideas and musings
became an obese repository of dreams.
Each thought a bloated morsel.
Lodged in the crevices of his consciousness.
He carried them like stones in his pockets.
Their weight pulling him deeper into solitude.
But one day, a butterfly fluttered by.
Its delicate wings a whisper of grace.
It danced upon his mental clutter.
A reminder of weightlessness and flight.
The man watched entranced. ...

His brain, swollen with ideas and musings
became an obese repository of dreams.

But one day, a butterfly fluttered by.
Its delicate wings a whisper of grace.
It danced upon his mental clutter.
A reminder of weightlessness and flight.
The man watched entranced. ...

Not sailing on the ocean
Not feeling pretty safe at all
Elaborate
Labor hate
Abort later
What's up?
Butterflies
Butter flies
Flies will fly
Around you.
Cocoa puff
Swimming
Into vodka
What's up?
Cow milk
Top hats
No taps
What's up?
No half full
Any glasses
No empty
Small cups
What's up?
Not ever
Full jugs
Bottoms up...
