Butterflies Poem by Chris Embrick

Butterflies
Emerge in Spring
And seek out sumptuous flowers
Drift upon the slightest breeze
Sip nectar between showers
Dance around on fragile wings
Sail about and flutter
Until love's aphrodisiac
Draws them to each other
And following nature's way
Weave cocoons suspended
Inside the grand design
Repeated, painted, splendid
Safe haven from winters chill
Awaits the warmth of Spring
When bluebird songs fill the air
And happy sparrows sing
When flower buds again unfurl
And paint the canvas of the world
Then once again before our eyes
We watch the dance of butterflies.
