Butterflies of Spring
newly emerged from darkness
into brilliant life
as my soul emerges now
brilliantly lit by Your Love

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Ellie this gave such a "bursting" affect!
It never ceases to amaze me how we can use so few words and bring such image across.

A poem well written Ellie!

Ellie,

Your tanka is beautiful.... I also see much similarities between butterflies and humankind. Perhaps butterflies' metamorphosis is but an example to us of what it will be like to be instantly transformed... Bob <><
