Follow me, my dear friend
Said the butterfly to the cat
I can take you places
I know where it’s at
You can walk beside me
I’ll just lead the way
Hurry now, let’s move along
Before the close of day

I can’t fly, you silly thing
Said the cat to the butterfly
How on Earth can I follow?
If I fall, I’ll surely die
Perhaps you can carry me
Upon your mighty wings
We can go off, into the clouds
With the setting sun, and things

The butterfly pondered a moment
As the cat cocked a curious grin
Decided it was better to go it alone
Then be part of this kitty’s din din

A butterfly’s wings

So delicate to the touch

Are silk against skin

A Whisper in the Wind ~ #poetry

I hear your voice, a whisper in the wind

Angelic, yet no words did you speak

Only my heart can feel you near

A gentle breeze, a subtle reminder

Like the fluttering of a butterfly’s wings

Gently floating through the flowers

Lavender, the scent, was heavenly

Our comfort, in this ill begotten world
