The butterfly counts not months but moments....and has time enough.
Rabindranath Tagore
Butterfly Wishes
Yesterday a butterfly
Came floating gently through the sky.
He soared up through the atmosphere
Then drifted close enough to hear.
I said, "I'd love to fly with you
And sail around the way you do.
It looks like it would be such fun
To fly up toward the summer sun.
But I have not your graceful charm.
I haven't wings, just these two arms.
I've been designed to walk around.
My human feet must touch the ground.
Then magically he spoke to me
and told me what his wish would be.
He said, "What I'd love most to do
Is walk upon God's Earth with you,
To squish it's mud between my toes
Or touch my finger to my nose.
Butterfly
Flutter by,
Butterfly,
Floating flower
in the sky.
Kiss me with your
Petal wings -
Whisper secrets,
Tell of spring.
"You are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
You shine just like sunlight rays on a winter snow
I just had to tell you so
Your eyes sparkle as the stars, like the moon they glow
Your smile could light the world on fire, or did you know?
Your mind's full of everything that I want to know
I just had to let you know
I just had to tell you so
You're my Butterfly, fly high
fly, fly, fly"
Lenny Kravitz
A butterfly lights beside us, like a sunbeam...
and for a brief moment it's glory
and beauty belong to our world...
but then it flies on again, and although
we wish it could have stayed,
we are so thankful to have seen it at all.
A Butterfly Hovers Closely
A butterfly hovers closely
And then quickly moves away,
Swiftly going wheresoever
Her heart may freely say.
A butterfly lowers and rises
With the wind's gusty breath,
As if coupled within a dance
Of a loving tenderness.
The butterfly only knows
How it feels to have wings,
To kiss the petals of flowers
In such elegant flitterings.
To have but one moment
Of such an esquisite flight,
Would be like a dream
Where all seems so right.
I embrace emerging experience. I participate in discovery. I am a butterfly. I am not a butterfly collector. I want the experience of the butterfly.
--William Stafford
Just living is not enough said the butterfly, one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower--Hans Christian Anderson
A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment it's glory and beauty
belong to our world,
but then it flies on again.;
And though we wish it could have stayed,
We feel so lucky to have seen it.
by Katie Mason
Have you ever watched a butterfly?
That butterfly up in the sky?
Whirling, twirling, swirling round,
For unknown destinations bound.
He makes you wonder how indeed,
It decides the direction to proceed.
It seems to me such a mystery,
How they flutter about so fancy free.
Yet in time they'll find their way,
As most of us will do someday.
Rabindranath Tagore
