I watch the dance of clouds
so elegant
…they entranced.
A new season beckons
Comes in with a smile
flirts for a while
before leaving only
my reflection.
The behaviour of the butterfly
always used to baffle
Flitting here, there
everywhere
desiring to be free
but,
now I understand.
To deny truth
is to negate all responsibility
for its cause and effect
and,
out of silence
wisdom fills the mind
with kinder thought
We teach
or, we are taught
to see the deepest scratches
of someone else’s flaws
but love them anyway
Is the lesson.

to bond with nature, to learn, to grow and gain wisdom by observation ought to be the way of life. Nice allusion to that1
Thought provoking piece.
“see the deepest scratches
of someone else’s flaws
but love them anyway” …
Keen, life-changing wisdom in this stanza.
Gorgeous conclusion!
… and a beautiful lesson it is.
The butterfly and freedom, loving others despite or because
of their flaws, two examples of miracles. Lovely poem.
smiles….what a beautiful lesson it is…i wish more could learn it…i absolutely love butterflies…so beautiful little sky dancers….
A new season beckons
Comes in with a smile
flirts for a while..
Some very awesome lines 🙂
loved it and lesson learnt.
My english teachers would have loved this. You spoke so elegantly, weaving lesson with signs of nature. Negating how the transitions baffled, loved it!
My eyes flickered across your page as it loaded and I thought it said ‘leave a moment’..and for a moment I did..flying with that butterfly..small..yet big enough to know it’s chaos..maybe a moment away is good for the soul but your last verse made me ponder..perhaps we need to take responsibility for – and make the most of – those moments too..hmm..Jae
acceptance of others, including those things that annoy, is a higher state of living, and a challenge for everyone all the time, except yogis, i imagine. the eternal lesson…
Even when those flaws come with claws that scratch back? That can hurt you know, as the cat likes to show. But yes indeed, that is the way to be.
“to see the deepest scratches
of someone else’s flaws
but love them anyway
Is the lesson.”
what a lovely thought.
Wow. Your poems always contain the most wonderfully positive messages. Deep wisdom. Yes, that is the lesson.
Wise words!
An inspiring message, well expressed.
