Butterflies

– by the bye –

Not incidental
We butterflies,
Ever so gentle 
Yet by the bye,
As ornamental 
To  human eye, 
Will so trample
Reasoning why,
Be florae ample
Ye soon realize,
Holds butterfly
Reach to offer life,
Or graces the sky
As fitfully dancing,
Be fulfilling his bye
The while ambling by!

      Delicate and beautiful absolutely, thus indicative so to the importance of real friendship, one would want to last forever, which needs be treated accordingly. For a special friend like you dear Paulette!

    I love butterflies, Jean-Jacques.  There is a freedom that you expressed in these words:  “Reach to offer life,
    
Or graces the sky.”   Always a joy to read your poetry words!
