Transcendental Sonnet #332:
Safe

Beautiful butterfly fluttering by
Glowing like blue stained glass in the sunshine
Rising on gossamer wings in the sky
Please come be my playmate please come be mine

Come down to me and let my outstretched hand
Be rest and respite for you safe to be
To rest your brilliant shining wings to land
And spend a moment in my company

Bright wings in rest position carried high
Safe in my hand I promise you always
I understand your nature butterfly
And I will celebrate you all my days

I know your name my friend my butterfly
Your name is Silke Shining in the Sky

This is my favorite part, I have read it 5 times and I love it more each time I read it. Just perfectly written, PERFECT!
