Origame Butterflies.

The beauty of nature

Upon a bridge within a scene, I breathed so many shades of green
I listened to a chuckling stream, and lingered while I heard it dream
Of so much joy and so much peace, a sense of heavenly release
While far above me in the skies, like origami butterflies
Were clouds that writhed in fluttering ways through painted willow patterned days,
Immersed within the depths of dawn, another blossom day is born
So many colours in my eyes, entrancing textured silk surprise
That wraps me rainbow ribboned shade, before the evening’s last gems fade.


No time walks by the waterside, just images of magic glide
Upon the mirrors of the morn, so many different smiles are born,
So many ghosts drift quietly, upon their ethereal sea
And whisper woven spirits flow inside their magic lantern glow
Through diamond lace on birch branch looms, through other worlds and other rooms
Where often spirits sail the skies as origami butterflies,
When dawn and dusk hold hands again, to wander down their own back lane
Old friends again, no need of time, immersed in their own ageless rhyme.


Then back to where my moments wait, along the path, behind the gate
That takes me slowly back again, through silk cloaked wind and sighing rain
Until my eyes can see no more of what lies behind the distant door
Along the lane, asleep again, cradled in joy and sometimes pain,
Back home from the waterside, my cottage bids me step inside
To bathe, to eat in perfect peace, a sense of heavenly release,
I know the rendezvous I’ll keep, after I drift away to sleep
For through my window starlight flies with origami butterflies…
