SEEING CLEARLY (BUTTERFLY CINQUAIN)
shattered
glasses on a
stone floor among other
trinkets taken from a past life.
‘minders;
cast away by an insecure
boy, flown beyond his wings
eager to leave
this town
glasses on a
stone floor among other
trinkets taken from a past life.
‘minders;
cast away by an insecure
boy, flown beyond his wings
eager to leave
this town

Viceroy butterfly (daVid)
For my pretence the grandiose
my wings to spread
in hues to match the undergrowth
in autumn shades
For the less well informed
mistaken for an admiral
a lepidoptera shrunk or just deformed
summers short days do fly
When in the earth as chrysalis curled
just like a teenager, lied in bed
escape the cold and winters snows
awaiting spring, transformed in that advent
The junk food of a cow pat
my elegance survived intact
a willow leaf where raindrops sat
my perch; your glance not pass me by
...

(ke 'I' th).........Imago
The cocoon burst too soon,
from a leaf-hung grip I slipped,
snatched as an adult,
wet winged on a blighted breeze,
flightless over summer gardens,
color clinging to a sugar-stealers drift.
He found me touching tips of coupled bliss,
then left me to lay patterns on lush, low leaves.
They will age as an idea of hunger
while I sip moisture and dream of
drinking nectar with the gods.

victorians then and now ..
the museum closed back in march I was steeped and aghast at the natural history section,
butterflies pinned under glass ..
butterflies pinned under glass ..

SCIENCE vs THE BIBLE
(Or General Revelation vs Special Revelation).
Most Christians think Christ came to take away sin, or "save sinners" like it says in 1 Timothy 1.15. But actually you can make the case that He came to father the Church, ie, the Christian community in order that it, the Church, would produce SCIENCE, aka "General Revelation," God's Revelation of Himself via Nature. By Nature, I mean the study of Nature. And what has the study of Nature become?? SCIENCE, of course. Just like if I say the Bible = Special Revelation, i mean the study of it. For to an illiterate, the Bible reveals...

White Butterfly
I had never seen or felt something so serene
The wind caressing me softly through my hair
I had never been so at ease feeling inner peace
As the sound of nature filled the mountain air
It was supposed to be a simple visit to a temple
Nestled between the canyons amid the greenery
Never before I had seen so much beauty and lore
My heart still smiles when remembering the scenery
It was after sitting in the temple in quiet reverence
That we walked the grounds enjoying the silence
And when my sons curiously rang the peace bell
It...

My heart still smiles when remembering the scenery

Butterfly Spine
if her spine is the stem
her ribs are the leaves
where insects feed
on her hollow bones
devouring the green
now she is bare and fruitless
with no pollen to offer the bees
bruised and bloody
pale skin eroding
she cries, she tries, she fails
to turn weeds to roses
and grow back the places
where butterflies landed
her ribs are the leaves
where insects feed
on her hollow bones
devouring the green
now she is bare and fruitless
with no pollen to offer the bees
bruised and bloody
pale skin eroding
she cries, she tries, she fails
to turn weeds to roses
and grow back the places
where butterflies landed

Dotted Wings (haiku)
Perch on a leaf
The butterfly spreads its wings
Ready to fly
It gently flaps
Its dotted wings daintily
Like a paper fan
The butterfly spreads its wings
Ready to fly
It gently flaps
Its dotted wings daintily
Like a paper fan

a sudden heart attack rearranges
during an ordinary everyday
people die thinking about what to
buy for their lunch when suddenly everything changes ..

Pretty Butterfly (haiku)
Pretty butterfly
Flying low among the plants
Ends in a Cat's mouth
Wings flutter wildly
Hanging between two sharp fangs
Like a black moustache
Flying low among the plants
Ends in a Cat's mouth
Wings flutter wildly
Hanging between two sharp fangs
Like a black moustache

Genesis 1.20 and 1.24 Reveal God's Modus Operandi
Genesis One, verses 20 and 24 POINT TO EVOLUTION as God's modus operandi.
It starts off with God bequeathing to Nature ("the waters..the earth") the ability
to create life ("bring forth the moving creature..the living creature..").
But not only is the original creating of life turned over to Nature,
the subsequent development of the species - speciation - is also turned over to Nature -
in the form of the very first original species or lifeforms.
For we read that way back in the beginning, God endowed each lifeform with the power to reproduce...

Butterfly Tattoo
the best things in life
are gone too soon
short lived
i wasn’t ready to let you go
like a butterfly tattoo
placed perfectly on my wrist
beautiful in every way
soaked in water, so it would stay
days after, i watched it soar
upon my skin
riding the lines between
i miss you, those feelings
love, nurture
safety
butterfly tattoo
still vibrant blue
it didn’t seem like long
before the wrinkles in your wings
had formed
faded into my body
don’t leave me again, this time
