Like a playful child
Following an elusive butterfly
In awe of its colorful wings
The dance has him hypnotized
As is the child in me
Enthralled with poetic words
Finding the rhyme
Of what my heart has heard
Of inspirations night and day
The metaphors held within
Relating to life lessons
Or simply thoughts on a whim
Words seemingly from thin air
Casually drifting by
As I weave them all together
Where they come from makes me sigh
I’m lost in wonderment
As they seem to know me
On my heartstrings they pull
Poetic words calling me
Like a Pied Piper
Escorted by songbirds
As I too enjoy the dance
Chasing poetic words
