The butterfly
maiden looks
inquiringly up
at the heavens,
soul-searching
as she watches
the clouds form
layer upon layer
of strange and
wonderful lands.
Beneath her
multicoloured,
gossamer
headdress beats
the heart of a
lion offering
strength to the
gentle souls in
flight. A swirl
of flowers
forming a
garland around
the "Queen of
the Jungle",
gradually blends
into sea and
stars. This
transitional
plane is the
meeting place
between the
butterfly's
ethereal and
gentle world and
the lion's proud
and powerful
domain. The
outcome of this
meeting is a
perfect blend
for life. -

The soft
glow of
dew on
the
leaves
spreads
a
rainbow
across
the
small
garden,
she
seeks
solitude
on this
day to
gather
her
thoughts
at what
lays
ahead
The
stirrings
in her
body
have
been
gathering
for some
days and
now she
must
make the
choice
Tomorrow
who
knows
what
sights
may
befall
her,
today
she only
knows
that the
choice
is hers
and must
be made.
Slowly
at first
she
unfurls
her body
the tiny
veins
pumping
life to
her
soul,
then the
panic of
what is
to
happen
washes
over her
and she
struggles
with the
veil
which
encloses
her
A big
black
cat
watches
from the
hedgerow
as she
sits
nervously
waiting
for the
chance
then a
puff of
scented
air
wafts
past her
and she
reaches
out to
follow,
suddenly
the air
is under
her
wings
and she
floats
so
slowly
behind
it her
wings
are
fluffing
along
and she
sees the
world
from on
high who
knows
what
will
happen
tomorrow,
she
doesn't
care for
this
little
monarch
has
arrived
and her
time is
for the
moment
The
wonders
of
nature
adorn
her as
she
disappears
from
sight,
The cat
blinks
and
continues
to clean
his fur

Oddly enough,
the butterfly is
one of the
animals of the
Gemini, which is
my sign. I
have always had
a connection
with them and
one personality takes the
name Butterfly.
I'm
a wind Spirit.
