Mute crystalline sky
Weeps bejeweled crystals,
Which fall in silence;
Consecrate the earth, you
Tears of the Divine,
Fall upon the meek and
Powerful, upon king
And serf; dewy respite
From the scalding Sun’s
Torch, water the living,
The thistle gilded,
The vine-ridden stones,
But encumber not
The butterfly’s splendid
Wings, whose color
Still enchants; a living,
Land-bound rainbow,
Whose funeral dance
Wakes the soul
And stills the mind;
And so the butterfly
Dances, doesn’t mind
The rain from the
Crystalline sky.

sounds heavenly, thanks for sharing
'The butterfly’s splendid
Wings, whose color
Still enchants; a living,'
