A Fish Watches A Butterfly
CVII.
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?

I'll see you in my dreams - Giant
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.
