A Fish Watches A Butterfly

This is a mere bit of a romp into tongue-in-cheek whimsy. I'm not sure where it's been or where it may propel us.

But you're invited ~

~ to play

with me!

Fragile butterfly

With tensile strength of steel

Who knows as much as I

How life and love should feel.

Delicate discernment

Determined by respect

And in it all a loving heart

Much more than they suspect.

Beautiful butterfly,
Unbridled by the loss of chains,
Sets out to find the range
A butterfly -

Can fly.

Myself

Cocoon-cracked,

Bookworm becomes

Butterfly.

Yet hovers here

Among the pages

A little longer,

Always

To return for rest

And vital nourishment.

I watch,

Entranced,

The thing

Take flight

As wings begin to widen.

And in the quiet

Hours of night,

Their silent sounds

Caress my ears,

Assuring me
He's safe.

It is my best reward.

Pisces wafts a watery trail;

Pisces is mysterious.

When Pisces has a tale to tell,

Then Pisces is delirious.

Capricorn is saturnine;

Capricorn’s capricious.

When Capricorn’s a friend of mine,

Then Capricorn’s delicious.

If butter could fly,

What would toast do?

How poignant is memory.

And how sweet.

And what fun is whimsy,

A buffer for what's too bitter-sweet.

It's good!

Whimsy is my middle name.

'Tis 51% of my nature.

If it brought pay , I'd earn a fortune.

As I'm doing this hub, I'm pleased with the various senses evoked: the sight, sound and awareness - joy - satisfaction. But - if only the smell could be incorporated!

You see, yesterday I burned a lovely favorite candle in here - in fact I nearly burned it up. The room is infused with the divine fragrance still lingering. If only you could be enjoying it with me here. So lovely. It's Pomegranite Peel and Amber scented. Um-m-m-m-

Then today earlier - I watched "The Way We Were" on DVD, looking for a movie to share with my friend-'nuther virtual son, John. And what a movie it is! But it's not the one to share with him before his big "work day" as a minister on Sunday, when he needs light 'n easy to relax him to start an early and a long workday. "TWWW" is not that light or easy a movie. But it is lovely. Perhaps we'll share it another day.

So may I simply share the music from it with you here? I sort of tremble with its beauty and its message - and at how closely it seems to parallel real life. I FEEL it strongly and treasure that.
