The Butterfly Believer

The first of two white butterflies Left Noah on the ark And flew upon the fresh-aired skies To join the crow and lark... The butterfly looked at the grass That shone its gracious green And at each tree that he could pass, Majestic and serene... The lake he crossed reflected blue And sometimes clouds of grey And ripples caused a silver hue, Like dew at break of day... Then suddenly a rainbow formed, The first Mankind had known, That followed all that rain that stormed When judgement had been shown... That butterfly was thus amazed, 'Why can't we be like this? With colours that are highly praised, Resplendent, sharing bliss? ' The Lord reflected for a while, On that white butterfly, Then with a word and with a smile God gave a swift reply! The butterfly was flying still, Across a meadow's spread And as he looked upon the hill, He saw something ahead... He saw the other butterfly, With colours left and right... Her wings ablaze against the sky! Her splendour brought delight! He chased her and she saw him, too! They shared their miracle! For he was also sparkling new, Just as adorable! And so they danced there side-by-side, Rejoicing in their style... And God looked down with newborn pride And with a joyful smile... Denis Martindale, copyright, September 2012.
