a quatern
A chapter in the book Quaterns: Observations on Life
At Rest among the Marigolds
by adewpearl
On pleated petals spun from gold a butterfly paused from her flight, for sunbeams pressed in every fold had summoned her from lofty height. She must have felt the pull to light on pleated petals spun from gold when every bloom seemed to invite her rest upon a marigold. So with her journey put on hold in Grandma's garden bold and bright, on pleated petals spun from gold she spent her sojourn in delight. I still can feel my heart ignite when thinking of those days of old, when I saw butterflies alight on pleated petals spun from gold. |
