THE BUTTERFLY

Silently fluttering in

And out of the blossoms,

Bringing a cry of joy

By all whom see it.

Bright yellows, reds,

Oranges and blues,

Patterns of perfection

Upon both

Of its wings.

We can feel

God's powerful

Silence, sending

A message

Of His

Quiet and gentle presence.

This magnificent creature

Vanishes as

Quickly as it appears,

Taking flight,

To another

Field of

God's spiritual beauty.
