Butterflies Alight

Butterflies flutter

inside

when we are nervous,

butterflies alight

on flowers

to say hello,

little messengers,

reminding us to breathe

and smell the flowers.

No need to hurry,

no need to worry,

life unfolds

at its own pace,

problems resolve

at their own pace.

Be like a tree,

steady and calm,

open branches

inviting the butterflies

to rest on the flowers of spring.

This poem is very inviting and calmly beautiful. I loved the lines,
"No need to hurry,
no need to worry,
life unfolds
at its own pace,
problems resolve
at their own pace."

Helene,
Thank you for this delightful poem as it speaks of tranquility. I live with a varied butterfly population and to see them flutter and dance is a great joy.
