THE GENESIS OF BUTTERFLIES
Victor Hugo

The dawn is smiling on the dew that covers
The tearful roses; lo, the little lovers
That kiss the buds, and all the flutterings
In jasmine bloom, and privet, of white wings,
That go and come, and fly, and peep and hide,
With muffled music, murmured far and wide.
Ah, the Spring time, when we think of all the lays
That dreamy lovers send to dreamy mays,
Of the fond hearts within a billet bound,
Of all the soft silk paper that pens wound,
The messages of love that mortals write
Filled with intoxication of delight,
Written in April and before the May time
Shredded and flown, playthings for the wind's playtime,
We dream that all white butterflies above,
Who seek through clouds or waters souls to love,
And leave their lady mistress in despair,
To flit to flowers, as kinder and more fair,
Are but torn love-letters, that through the skies
Flutter, and float, and change to butterflies.

Hey I'm the ultimate hopeless romatic, spent way too much time reading Haraquin romances as a teenager. LOL. Want Prince Charming to come rescue me on his white horse, and he'd better have flowers. LOL. But I also know what real relationships are about, trust,honesty, communication. Anyone want to chat just give he a yell, i'm a great listener.

I'm more a hopeful romantic myself.

I always wanted to be a farmer.

@ Harry

Kidatheart....believe it or not I was a farmer now I am an engineer for IBM. Everyone could learn a thing or two from a farmer. Funny how things never work out the way we expect them but life was refreshingly dynamic and hopelessly unpredictable.
