Butterfly Mornings

Lorna



As I walked in deep woods

Off a field

At John Brown's farm

When the days were warm

Feeling very lonely

A butterfly with yellow wings

Adopted me

And crossed my path

To and fro

His flirts and dances

Leading me

Farther into the trees

He stayed as I explored

And found that beauty

That makes us so forlorn

To see alone

He stayed and led the way

As I turned to leave

Weaving his waltz

Until the pine path disappeared

As a goodbye

He sprinkled me

With powder from his wings

That glistened

As it formed a ring 

Around my heart

Now he shows himself in dreams

When I'm lonely

So sad the past, it passes

So sweet the butterfly dreams

That dance over our losses

        Lorna,
        Beautiful poetry and the video was amazing! I enjoyed seeing and listen to Stella Stevens sing, “Butterfly Mornings and Wildflowers Afternoons”! She and Jason Robards were great in “The Ballad of Cable Hogue”! Fantastic movie!
        Thank you for sharing!
