Love's a Butterfly
Always Resilient
A strong yet fragile wonder
Love is Beautiful
Hues so colorful
As wings of a butterfly
With Love there is Hope
Gracefully soaring
Changing metamorphosis
Love brightens the soul
Embracing your heart
Soft wings tickle your spirit
Love makes you smile
Caressing your life
Encouraging you to grow
Love's protective wings
Becoming New Life
Compassionate forgiveness
Love is eternal
Glistens in the sun
Full of possibilities

Nina, gorgeous what you just wrote to me. Absolutely gorgeous. I'll take my cookies out of the oven, eat one or two, and come back to read what you've shared.

Nina, beautiful words. Love can be light like this. Love can be much heavier in the belly though, too. It can thrust you against walls and urge you to spontaneous combustion, or at least it can for me.
You're a joy, Nina.

Nina this is wonderful...and so beautiful to read on this sunny Sunday morning!
As you have beautifully painted here Nina, Hope has finally arrived. Hope had drawn to us many possibilities and potentiality. So Now, we can move from Hope into a sense of Being; Creating the new Colour Combinations that you do so well.
Beautiful and joyous. The pictures are superb.
You have a gift of expressing things we all feel but don't always know until we read the words of gifted poets and explainers of life. Thank you for sharing your gift.
NIna,
I just took a haiku workshop this weekend. It was so fun! You inspire me to give it a try...This is just lovely and I do adore butterflies. Transformation!!!
As usual, your beautiful writings soften my soul... and thank you so much for my birthday poem! You're a very special lady.
Oh lovely. For me butterflies symbolise innocent happiness - and freedom. And that's what love is too, isn't it?
Should it be 'Embracing your heart'?
This is very clever. How each seperate in their own right and together collectively.Yes, I am thinking Love IS like a Butterfly.Beautiful,you.
You have such a great spirit, Nina. I always enjoy seeing your heart through your words.
It always gives me much joy reading your poetry Nina.
Butterflies are definitely "a strong yet fragile wonder".
You light up my life Nina with your thoughtful comments and brilliant posts.
Keep smiling....keep shining as you do so beautifully.
Hugs
