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
