Transcendental Sonnet #1334:
White Butterflies

I don't know much about butterflies
Wish I did but I'm not that clever
But I got a butterfly surprise
Yesterday which I thought I'd never
Receive and it was hard to believe

Out in my front yard in sparkling weather
Two butterflies wings folded together
Joined in unmistakable embrace
To be as one there under the sun
Right there in front of my startled face

Surprised by life embracing the spring
My heart bloomed within me to behold
This most fantastic most fragile thing
White butterflies wreathed in rays of gold

The material of a true poet. You must dream in poetry to be this creative.

I love you, my friend.

Actually, I do dream in poetry; I compose sonnets in my dreams, and then when I wake up I write them down. It's very strange.

I really did see these butterflies yesterday. It affected me profoundly; I had never seen this before.

Hey, Hey Hey, did you see that drawing of me at AuthorsDen playing the digeridoo? Earring and all... albeit incarnated as a kangaroo:

Thank you so much for being so kind to me! I think maybe everything is going to be OK. I'm happy to be alive.

Love,

its called appreciation of the moment

and the moment is always infinite
but we only seem to understand that
when something beautiful awakens us from our slumber-
beit just a small moment of butterfly attention in the small moment
of your life


nice words

So upbeat, see I knew no one could keep you down. Very beautiful, made me wish I had seen the butterflies.
