The Longest Kiss is When Butterflies Fly About

by Sherry Caayupan   Nov 29, 2017


The longest kiss transcends from a winter rose,
Which blossoms in a mid-winter's day,
Winter springs when autumn goes,
The rose's petals made dewdrops and sways;

White butterflies fly and flutter about,
A dainty larvae they were once in a lifetime,
In the past, they might have died,
And dried out but reincarnated in a twilight;

Love is when the caterpillars turn to gold,
When they spread their lovely wings,
As white butterflies they were old,
Yet one of the most beautiful things;

The singing rain fiddles a wonderful violin,
Its strings played with bountiful grace,
It made music, the gift it brings,
A heart of rain starts to race;

Majestic mountains look upon the earth,
It is in awe of the beauty it sees,
Of land gracious since the birth,
Of poppies and tall maple trees;

The earth faces upon the wilderness,
It made fertile by ewes and does,
A rainbow patronized a petrified forest,
An august sire as it shines and glows...

    Sherry, such beautiful visual images you have created in our minds with this poem.
    Such a wonderful journey of nature you have depicted through this poem.
    A constant cycle of nature which remains the same and how seasons, and life shapes around it.
    Trees, mountains, butterflies, does, flowers, rain, and all the other beautiful elements that nature has given us you have woven into words.
    Our grandparents admitted the beauty of the nature, our parents admired it too and now we are lucky enough to see it, feel it.
    To me, every word in this poem sounds so real, a true feeling, like I am there seeing a winter rose collecting the dew in its petals. I am hearing the sound of rain which actually feels like music to my ears.
    I waited for that moment when butterfly comes from the cocoon.
    And yes, I saw from the top of that majestic mountain how gracefully nature creates and destroys life on our mother earth.
    You end the poem from where it begins just like the constant cycle of the nature.
    Language of the poem is graceful, majestic, fertile, it shines and glows too like a rainbow. Something you get to read once in a lifetime as I am not sure when will it reincarnate again.
    Loved it:)
