Beautiful ChaOs

Beautiful ChaOs

~Marcie~

My loyal companion says it is time to get up.

Ohh but my body complains.

His insistence wins, it always does.

 

My body is stiff from yesterdays labor.

Ohh but there is so much more to do.

Vacation is dwindling with no fun to be had.

 

My mind is sad, there's got to be more.

Ohh how I need pleasure this day.

Feeling sorry for myself, lost & alone.

 

My morning begins, I step outside.

Ohh but the sunshine is glorious.

I sit on my swing to wake up & ponder.

 

My life is in chaos, pitiful me.

Ohh how I need a break to forget the pain.

Summer is slipping away but for me it hasn't begun.

 

My day has to start, but do I have the heart?

Ohh a gift for me hovers before my eyes.

The most beautiful yellowish greenish butterfly.

 

The butterfly dances around me,

Ohh so graceful & sweet.

I follow it with my eyes, this is a beautiful treat.

 

Next thing I know I look up & see

Ohh It's a precious hummingbird in my tree.

Finally they found my feeder, I smile as I watch.

 

The butterfly returns, swirling & fluttering in the breeze.

Ohh I follow its path, this way & that.

I lost it in flight, I twirl around to search.

 

My eyes landed on my pond beside me.

Ohh what I see, another dance has begun.

The goldfish are swimming & feeding on the surface.

A

 sweet froggie is wading at the water's edge.

Ohh it looks so peaceful among the dancing fish.

The butterfly reappears with its graceful beauty.

 

I follow the swirling path of its flutter.

Ohh butterfly, where will we go?

My backyard is where it leads me, ok let's see.

 

I stop at the water filled hole where my swimming pool used to be.

Ohh the sounds I hear... plop/splash, plop/splash!

Frogs are everywhere jumping from me.

 

I spot one near the waters edge & try to be sneaky.

Ohh but he is stealthier than I.

Another plop/splash & he dances away in the murky water.

 

I see tadpoles flittering about on the surface.

Ohh there is activity all around.

Then something in the air catches my vision.

 

A dragonfly dances around me as I watch.

Ohh I never knew how awesome they could be.

I follow it in its flight & find it is not alone.

 

Here comes his buddy zooming close to tease.

Ohh there goes my dragonfly, scurrying off for the chase.

Now I look down & see a perfect leaf that has fallen from its tree.

 

This is one of the most beautiful leaves I have seen.

Ohh the colors entwining the veins,

It is a canvas that only nature can create.

 

I pick up the leaf & examine God's art.

Ohh here comes the dragonflies swirling around me in sync.

And out of nowhere my butterly is back.

 

Thank you butterfly, for leading me around.

Ohh you showed me so much I needed to see.

I am having my vacation afterall.

 

It was right before me all along.

Ohh Dear God, Your world takes my breath away.

There is so much beauty in my chaos & I humbly thank You.
