Of Bluebirds and Butterflies



Curiosity has gotten the better of you!
Caught in the wind chime – so attracted to its tune.
The backdrop of autumnal colors,
highlight outstretched wings in flight.
And yet, enraptured by the tinkling sound,
you hover, near noiselessly.
Waiting for the next breath of wind.

Of bluebirds and butterflies, this yard is full.
Full of God’s small fertile creatures of morn.
Warm sun, bright skies, evoke your busyness of day.
Resting on last blooms of bushes, you love to feed upon.
One last look into the nest, head poking in and out,
before winds claim you to migration southward.

Sitting here, restful, shadow cast long behind me,
eyes reflect blueness of sky and wing.
Smiling, to pass time, while watching the monarch soar.
The litters of green balls of walnuts cover vast leaf beds.
For now, their fragrance foretells of busy squirrels,
when wintry white snows come blowing in.
