butterfly wings
are such amazing
things
have you ever even taken a good look at them?
butterfly wings
are such amazing
things
i am curious about the artist who made them!
i am not
your everyday-kind-of-a
butterfly
i flutter into your path
unexpected
uninvited
i catch your eye
barely, momentarily
i make you happy
and then you look away
just for one moment
and i am gone
again
and again
i am soooo gone!
cause, you know
that’s what we do,
we butterflies
flügelt ein kleiner blauer
falter vom wind geweht,
perlmutterner schauer,
glitzert, flimmert, vergeht.
so mit augenblicksblinken,
so im vorüberwehn
sah ich glück mir winken,
glitzern, flimmern, vergehn.
Hermann Hesse – Germany 1877 – 1962
chō no tobu
bakari nonaka no
hikage kana
Nothing but butterflies flying
in the meadow
in the sunlight
Bashō – Japan 1644-1694
i have never known a butterfly
who did not love the sun
have you?
i thank You God for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
by E. E. Cummings – USA 1894-1962
