Their coming and their passing went
as silent as a tear
rode cheeks like rosy breezes
threading through the air
and flying there
upon the shoulders of the sky
different always to an unassuming eye
and I saw
though they never noticed me at all
~~~~~~~~
When One learns
to live without fear,
then One cannot be broken.

"different always to an unassuming eye"

truly modesty deserves to see things as they are meant to be tho quiet

I firmly agree. Thank you for the review, darling!

The beauty of the butterfly. I also favor very much this quiet unassuming delicate yet strong winged creature. Thank you for sharing your words. Here is a piece I wrote for our beautiful butterflies. Peace

A WINGED BEAUTY

Nestled in her small cocoon
She squirms and turns to find the room
A delicate dance from side to side
As nature makes her wings to fly

The outer layer of her home
Opens to a world unknown
A radiant beauty for all to see
Adorned in purple, black and green

She floats and flutters to say hello
To soaring sunflowers as they glow
Landing low in a graceful stance
Princess Butterfly begins to prance
