To Spend A Moment With a Butterfly

By George A. Boyd © 1994

Excerpted from Nirvana Sings

I will pause in my busy day

To spend a moment with a butterfly,

Or watch the rainbow sparkle of a tear

As it melts into the crystal sea.

I will seize a bubble of wonder;

Find a world reflected, dancing

Light rays streaming from the clouds,

Watching white birds serenely glide from Heaven.

I will stand in the wild-flowered field

Turning with them in the wind, touching

Sky and earth, and mists of clouds,

That ride in rivers miles high.

I will speak to pebbles in the stream,

Whispering to them of secret dreams

Of dandelions and whooperwills,

Squirrels, who in meadows hop and run.

I will find a secret place

And fill it full of songs and praise,

Reach my cup up, with arms outstretched,

To receive more elixir from the Throne of Grace.

I will lift me up to rise with Him

Through dimensions mirrored, engoldened o'er,

And ride the Living Spirit where

All Life begins, in Love's so sweet and perfect Word.
