The Beauty Within


With Nature’s grace

All things have their place

Whether good, bad or ugly

All are just opinions

Expressed by earth’s denizens

Never judge a book by the cover

Never believe you are more regal than another

 

From an egg

The fascinating caterpillar emerges

Only to disappear into pupal obscurity

Mother Nature weaves her magic, and

The Empress of The Lepidopteran Realm springs forth

In the form of a butterfly

Elegant and magnificent

She flits here and there

Breathing her vibrant magic into the world

In gratitude to the Mother that embraced her

She confers the gift of eggs to the earth

Then like a river that has found the ocean

She surrenders her spirit to the heavens

 

And so continues the cycle

With Nature’s grace

All things have their place

Whether good, bad or ugly

All are just judgements

Expressed by earth’s denizens

You never know what is contained within

So, be very careful what you opine

Never judge a book by the cover

Never believe you are more regal than another

The Fragrance Of Jasmine


I’ve never expressed a love so pure

Pure as a mountain stream

Crystal clear and glistening in the sunlight

 

I’ve never before known such a heart

A heart that cares

That knows my reckless ways, and

Seeks to protect me from myself

 

I’ve never known anything so simple

Yet so beautiful

Like a swan gliding across a lake, or

A butterfly fluttering in the summer sun

 

My soul was truly touched

By the fragrance of Jasmine

The day I felt the love of

A beautiful sister

 

Was there ever a luckier man than I…
