in the shadows of butterflies

Posted on Jul 3rd, 2008 by quietlaughter : . quietlaughter
 

I am lingering

in the shadows

of butterflies

as the sun climbs over

cloud debris in the sky


walking along empty pathways

on the water's edge

finches and blackbirds call

from tall grasses and

wildflowers as I walk along


my heart follows the vines

where the blooms open

in the late summer afternoon

and rest in the cool, quiet

arms of the night


bullfrogs growl

and cicadas sing

in time with the echo

of each step of mine towards

the deep green woods ahead


sunshine sprawls across

the vibrant wing

shaping the shelter below

this is where I am

heart and song

I am wandering home
