Velvet Grace

Thank you for bringing

to a dead halt

the runaway train

of my heart's worries
dear butterfly spirit.

And you did it

with nothing more

than the glittering iridescence

of your velvety black wings,

and the entrancing spell

of your graceful elegance.

In the lush of my garden sanctuary there breathes a spirit whose presence is so radiant that even a life's worst worries will stop to have a moment of earthly wonder.
