Majestic dreamer fluttering gracefully above each open petal <br />Fiery orange and black as you pass through a bright autumn sky <br />Briefly visiting on your way to destinations unknown <br />Restless wanderer, turning nighttime into day traveling to places <br />Unknown to you and places unimaginable <br />Floating without effort where the morning light serves as your next stop <br />On a stream of consciousness <br />The sweet scent of jasmine draws you closer as you briefly touchdown <br />Then you gently scatter the dust of life on an unsuspecting soul <br />Wings become still momentarily, then off into your seemingly <br />Effort less flight, into the darkness you travel guided by heavenly light <br />Onward in your journey in search of the perfect dream <br />Your quest continues in both darkness and in light <br />Ever closer, with each passing moment, visions become reality in the <br />Waking cycle of our lives, autumn settles in, a celebration of seasons past <br />Vibrant colors from our experiences now on display <br />The butterfly settles down in its final destination <br />Flowers bloom in the midst of a fiery sunset <br />They await your graceful arrival<br /><br />William Lindenmuth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/butterfly-dreamer/
