The Papillon



I wade through a silver stream

clear and pure to reveal the insides clean.

Flanked by blades of humble green

Paying their dues of dew to the stream.

With dampened attire and spirits within

I walk to a dirty pier, lighted dim

Cluttered windows and dusty panes

Do no good to the clouds within.

With a stroke of luck, I muster strength

To push the glass with hope still tint

And peer past the pier’s pane

To breathe a wisp of sweet spring.

Far beyond the mounds of stone

A ray of sun caresses my soul

Opens my eyes to a thing so pretty

Colorful wings and a thing of beauty.

She hovers around to catch my vision

And lets me forget the darkened room

Fixes my heart to her colorful bliss

And cleans my spirit like a broom

As I stare at her bluish hue

my heart fills with joyous bloom

She ushers me to and eternal truth

On her way around some sunflower shoots

Though travel space and time asunder

The brilliant yellow sleeps under

Gruff sepals in gloomy winter

For the sun to rise and stop her slumber.

The fresh morning bloom ,now waves

and sings to her lovers gleam

On it sits, my friend from a distant land

My pretty ,little papillon.

A Friend of mine
