Question: On the theme of dreams, what do you think!?
I held a Butterfly today
Multi-faceted eyes
Reflected the sky!.
Inscrutable, he plotted
His next transatlantic hurricane!.
Flapped his wings!.
Big dreams for a butterfly!.
I liked his style!.
Respect is earned!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I really like this poem!.
Straight and sharp!.

Maybe "Respect is earned" is it's own line, maybe not!.
Maybe it stays in the stanza and becomes "his earned respect"!. Maybe not!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A thousand paths, a million lives !.!.!.

A thousand paths have I travelled
Seeking only to search
A glimpse or a glimmer of your presence!.
With great devotion I have remained
Your coming remains awanting

I stand at the juncture and watch you pass
Upon the route you have chosen
Speaking not of the shackles about my feet
Watching you roam with gay abandon

How would perchance if it had been
My heart free and your feet bound
And you were to endure my toils and pain
And I were to shed your tears of blood!.

Entrapped within this cloak of darkness
In want of a light you so brightly shine
Upon others in your way abiding
Were you to endure the torment I endure!.

It arises this light the darkness yearns for
The light itself drowning in depths
The words I sought to speak silently falling
Spoken, spilled forth from your angst!.!.!.

A thousand paths have I journeyed
To remain transfixed at a juncture in time
Ages, millennia pass by as moments
And an eternity retained in times without thee !.!.!.

Could I ask for the butterflies wings to 'flutter' instead of 'flap'!.!.!.!.some-how 'flapped' made me think of a bird!? The word is too heavy for a butterfly!.
Nice!.!.!.!.I love it when people get into the mind of an insect or animal and give them grandiose dreams!.!.!.and why should they not have them!? We do, and in the scheme of things we are equally insignificant!.
