    Nature's Jewel

    Dusty wings

    Orange and black

    A fluttering sound

    Wisps by my ears

     

    The inescapable joy

    At the site of this treasure

    Floating in the air

    Gracefully landing on every leaf

     

    Every flower

    A splash of color

    Sitting on a leaf

    This is no flower

     

    It is the creature of my dreams

    Nature’s most precious jewel

    More graceful than a ballerina

    Lighter than a feather

     

    Brighter than the sun

    Silent as the wind

    Its beauty remains

    The loveliest sight to the eye

     

    As I sit here watching

    This beautiful butterfly

    I think it is one of a kind

    Although millions surround me

    I am enchanted by this poem. My mother passed away three years ago and since my family has Native American Indian heritage I dedicated the butterfly to my mother as her totem and now every time I see a butterfly I say "hello mom" (butterflies are like angels)! I will save this as one of my favorites - which is a select few. Thank you.

    oh thank you so much. I'm so glad to hear you like my poem! I am sorry for your loss. And i agree with you--butterflies ARE like angels! Thank you.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
