Brief as Butterflies

I awoke to rain today.

I will walk where water drips

From spring leaves and flowers

For time slips away

And all our little hours

Are brief as butterflies,

Who flit by without a sigh.

    Another very thoughtful poem, making us think on the short time we are living on earth. Important under the actual worldwide circumstances, with wars on every edge. Have a nice weekend, Kevin! Best wishes, Michael
