Just sitting on my own one day A little out of sorts Seeing nothing as I looked around Was lost in my own thoughts Was seated in my garden Some movement caught my eye Could not help but look again Two majestic butterflies All around it was so silent Suddenly my heart did sing As I watched those things of beauty Fly ‘round on gossamer wings I watched them oh so closely Land lightly on a shrub And wondered that such beauty Began life as a grub There is nothing pretty About the caterpillar that we see But nature does somehow transform It to a thing of great beauty So now these two butterflies Flitted to and fro As they were blown by lightest breeze Where they wanted selves to show I saw there in my mind’s eye Beauty beyond compare A beauty that only nature knows And with us all does share They looked just so majestic Like Royalty all dressed I had never seen such splendour They were by nature blessed But just then they both decided Beauty no more to bring Flew off into the distance On beautiful gossamer wings I guess they had just wanted Their beauty then to share Not just for me alone But to all and everywhere ©Copyright Dark Blue Knight ~ Eddie 22nd September 1999 All Rights Reserved   Click On Knight To Return To Main Index Page Click On Knight To Return To Main Poetry Index Click On Knight To Go To Next Poem "The Music Of Love" It Would Be Appreciated If You Signed My Guest Book Click On Knight To Sign E-Mail This Link Enter recipient's e-mail: Fill Out Your E-mail Address To Receive My Site Updates!
