It is the marriage of the soul with nature that makes the intellect fruitful, and gives birth to imagination. - Thoreau

Magnificent and magnanimous.
Magisterial and majestic.
Adorned with the crest of high nobility.
Dubbed ruler of the realm of possibility.
Crusading about in search of rightful dominion.
Carrying the hope of tomorrow's opinion.
Delicate overseer of all Heaven's things.
Gentle monarch of love's nectar it brings.
Morphing in creation's very spotlight.
Colors of life so vibrant and bright.
Infinite, fluttering curtain calls without attached strings.
A butterfly is a charismatic caterpillar with angel's wings ...

"Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder." - Thoreau
