Spiral Dancing

As we wandered outdoors

in the warm Autumn air

two monarch butterflies delighted me

by spiral dancing above our heads,

joyful moments were indeed immense.

I was walking through

red and pink Valerian blooms,

and carrying Bobby, the woolly-fella

when Poppy energy surrounded the space

as these butterflies then circled us

and I was in awe of how close they came

and stayed to play for a long time.

It was just what I needed to lift and inspire

as a few minutes before I was weeping some tears

and thinking of her,

as I saw the Viburnum near her grave

was looking healthy with new buds

soon to be blossoming after the rain.

This verse is a tribute to my little hound dog Poppy who went to spirit last September, and I posted a verse on Fully Faithfully, September 30, 2013, which was called "Hoping to Save a Potted Plant"

Here-in lies the same plant, soon to blossom.
