William Lindenmuth - Butterfly Dreamer

Majestic dreamer fluttering gracefully above each open petal
Fiery orange and black as you pass through a bright autumn sky
Briefly visiting on your way to destinations unknown
Restless wanderer, turning nighttime into day traveling to places
Unknown to you and places unimaginable
Floating without effort where the morning light serves as your next stop
On a stream of consciousness
The sweet scent of jasmine draws you closer as you briefly touchdown
Then you gently scatter the dust of life on an unsuspecting soul
Wings become still momentarily, then off into your seemingly
Effort less flight, into the darkness you travel guided by heavenly light
Onward in your journey in search of the perfect dream
Your quest continues in both darkness and in light
Ever closer, with each passing moment, visions become reality in the
Waking cycle of our lives, autumn settles in, a celebration of seasons past
Vibrant colors from our experiences now on display
The butterfly settles down in its final destination
Flowers bloom in the midst of a fiery sunset
They await your graceful arrival

William Lindenmuth
