"Happiness is as a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne ~ ~ To A Butterfly ~ I've watched you now a full half-hour, Self-poised upon that yellow flower; And, little Butterfly! indeed I know not if you sleep or feed. How motionless!---not frozen seas More motionless! and then What joy awaits you, when the breeze Hath found you out among the trees, And calls you forth again ! This plot of orchard-ground is ours; My trees they are, my Sister's flowers; Here rest your wing when they are weary; Here lodge as in a sanctuary! Come often to us, fear no wrong; Sit near us on the bough! We'll talk of sunshine and of song, And summer days, when we were young; Sweet childish days, that were as long As twenty days are now. ~ William Wordsworth ~ "ACROSS MY DREAMS, WITH NETS OF WONDER, I CHASE THE BRIGHT ELUSIVE BUTTERFLY OF LOVE." FLUTTER BY, BUTTERFLY FLOATING FLOWER IN THE SKY. KISS ME WITH YOUR PETAL WINGS ~ WHISPER SECRETS...TELL OF SPRING. "AND THEN THE DAY CAME WHEN THE RISK TO REMAIN TIGHT IN A BUD WAS MORE PAINFUL THAN THE RISK IT TOOK TO BLOSSOM." ~ ANAIS NIN ~ "LOVE IS LIKE A BUTTERFLY ~ CHASE IT, AND IT WILL SURELY FLY AWAY. TRY TO GRAB IT, AND YOU WILL DAMAGE ITS FRAGILE WINGS BE STILL... OBSERVE ITS ETERNAL BEAUTY. EVENTUALLY IT WILL COME AND REST SOFTLY UPON YOUR SOUL." ~ ROBERT PIAZZA ~ To share this page with a friend, just click on the gold button :) ~ INDEX OF PAGES ~ [Homepage]      [Index2] [Touch Me] [I Believe ~ You'll Never Walk Alone] [Dear Mister Jesus] Abuse Through The Eyes Of A Child [Angel By My Side]~ The Prayer ~ Celine Dion/Andrea Bocelli] [An Irish Blessing] by Roma Downey [The Awakening]      [Anticipation] [Wings Of Distant Beauty] [Fly, Fly, Precious One [Island Dream] [Desiderata] [The Hypnotic Rose] [When Tomorrow Starts Without Me] [Parable Of The Rose] [She Walks In Beauty] [Comes The Dawn & Beauty Of A Woman] [Soaring With The Angels] [Little Eyes Upon You] [From This Moment On] [Emerald Leaves] Enchanting Fairie Child [Fields Of Gold] [Can't Live..If Living Is Without You] [Dance Of The Fairies] Photo of butterfly by Tara taken in one of my gardens :) October, 2000 ~Dreamchaser~ by NightAngel FastCounter by bCentral December 4, 2000
