BUTTERFLY JOURNAL

            GUARD DUTY

      Illusion

I saw butterflies asleep
   with on eye open
...a double guard duty
Back to back

Light angelic beauties
settled in for the night
atop a flower

Reality                                     The wonder of mating butterflies.

BUTTERFLY JOURNAL

AUGUST 31, 1997

Princess Diana died
And my butterfly emerged
I released my butterfly
in my garden.

I released my sorrow
in my tears.

SEPTEMBER 1, 1997

At the Wyoming County Fair
they featured a butterfly garden
with all the plants to attract them.

They even had a "butterfly house."

If I was to ever collect butterflies,
I'd do it that way~~
Attract them... but let them stay wild,
    free, and alive.

SEPT. 3

We look at the unique miracle of metamorphous
and don't realize the personal miracles of healing.

Today I cut my finger... Badly.
As soon as it happened~within that split second,
My body began to respond.

I applied a bandage once I'd stemmed the bleeding.
So what do I have: a cut beneath a bandage...
And while that cocoon of a bandage is there,
It will heal... A metamorphous of sorts...
A Miracle, for Sure!
