They met one sparkling summer day
A most unlikely pairing
People paused to ponder
What they might be sharing
With gentle wave of fragile wing
Adrift on a breath of air
“What do you see”, the monarch asked
“All bottled up in there?”
“Well, I fly high” the astronaut replied
“to gain a broader view
While what you see is limited
To what’s just in front of you”
And so, you might imagine
The two talked quite a lot
Of varying views of God’s handiwork
As seen by a butterfly and an astronaut.
This is absolutely wonderful Beverly! I love the connection between the butterfly and the astronaut and the conversation that shows their points of view. Simply lovely writing! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a butterfly and a human discussing varied views on God's work.
ReplyDeleteI love the different perspectives. One broad and one very focused. Like seeing both the whole picture and the individual parts.
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear their points of view on the stages of life.
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile, broader and broader as I read Bev. The rhyme is so engaging. This is a great little poem
