~The Butterfly Poet~

~The Butterfly Poet~
~The Butterfly Poet~

It finally happened
the day words wouldn’t come
the feeling refused to go
he tore his hand
from the glove of his mind
watched his imagination
those minute remnants left
dribble onto his notebook
a blot pattern blood ink
he wrote an ode to the butterfly:

Whose wings of earth and feet of sky
an invitation to glory the likes of which I
see sun through each, a fluttering, land
beautiful, mute, they are so much and
yet so little, they are at peace while I
envy them heaven, that fair bit of sky
