Writing with feelings of speculation, hope and wishing.
Didn't we have these visitations before? I know, at least in the metaphorical sense.
The predominant gold in the illustration is very symbolic.
Stunning it is, indeed. I picture the earthbound sunflower as representing earth and the butterfiles as visitors from heaven. I hope next they'd be alighting on your shoulder. On the shoulders of an earthbound poet with a heavenly touch. What a harmonious meeting that would be.

Comment from Quire's Gal
Kaleidoscopes of Butterflies. I love that word as it opens up a wide field poetically for just about anything to happen.
I like the consonamce of 'ever-visits' and 'come to call'
Perfect rhyme/meter yadda, yadda as if we need to even check.
I learned something new about butterflies too so thanks for sharing!
If I don't see you, have a great holiday Brooke!

Comment from Righteous Riter
Good use of the abcb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming with see/me...gold/behold...request/behest. Good alliteration with come/call. Beautiful photo followed by a clear message.

Butterflies start out ugly and awkward and then morph into beautiful graceful creatures that everyone loves. They are as enchanting as your poem, Brooke! It casts spell on me to love life and be happy with whatever God gave me. Thank you.

Brooke,
There is a very nice calming flow to this piece. Heaven and butterflies just seem to go together. Your choice of fonts, colors and picture are spectacular.

Hi Brooke,
I'm left wondering, what came first - the picture or the poem. Both absolutely fabulous.
I also wonder if there are insects in Heaven! LOL

Ron, the picture came first. I often go to Fan Art to see what is posted on their first page of newly arrived works to find inspiration :-) AVMurray is one of my favorites. Thanks so much :-) Brooke
Comment from Rubylou
Beautiful picture to complement beautiful words. Just the image of a kaleidoscope of butterflies, (which I learned the term from your poem) is uplifting.
Beautiful quatrains as usual.

This is a great wish and the butterflies hold the key to unlock the bounty of God's Spirit through the winds that have flown from heaven to bestow us with that goodness. Well done, Brooke.

Comment from kintesiegel
such a charming poem. I don't know how you do it over and over again. It just must be in you (besides the amount of hard work it takes) lovely
