Our lives are filled with Butterflies
In moments that we seize
They guide us with our heart and soul
Placing themselves in our memories

In days so dark we find them there
We feel them midst our pain
Guiding us to all tranquility
Till we are whole again

We see them in each golden day
They flutter strong and true
Each one more glorious than the next
Their colours a vivid hue

Our laughter guides each Butterfly
To peace and harmony
To place them amongst the flowers
To dance in reverie

Such gentle creatures as they fly
Their silence creating calm
We watch them with surprise and mirth
A cool and soothing balm

Butterflies are our gifts from God
To show us all the light
To guide us in our daily quest
Turning what is wrong to right

So next time you see a Butterfly
Treat this creature with your love
Filling all your memories with their beauty
As they flutter up above

Critiques


:iconcyantre:
Overall this is very nice piece of writing that has a very nice flow to it. The rhymes used in this poem are somewhat subtle, which works very well for this piece.

This poem has a very poetic quality to it, and by that I mean you did a great job describing the different scenarios and emotions embodied by butterflies. You have a good amount of creative imagery in this piece.

There are some words I wondered why you capitalized though, I couldn't really figure out a reason or a pattern for those few words you decided to capitalize. One small thing I noticed, in the second stanza I believe you may have meant "amidst" instead of just "midst", though that might just be a personal choice rather than a grammatical error. The several amount of periods you ended the poem with, as well in the title feel a bit unnecessary. If you really feel they add to the piece, I would suggest no more than three.

All in all this is a very nice of piece of writing, keep up the great work.
