curls past my page
i breathe
spring rain and laughter
a quiet strength
to weaken knees
wandering in the wonder
earthbound angel
on butterfly wings
brought ebony eyes
to touch the braille
inside
smoothed away
by a sly caress
the shadow of a promise
billows in the air
trapping the perfume
of sweet tomorrows

love it, especially the angelic descent gently landing correctly so that your braille is read and goodbye to robert frost promises to keep, all being subserviant to the promise to be as you is! : to make good use of bad english (my grammar, i mean), esp promises seen as shadow of ; jj’s perfumes of araby, immanence itself, round many o’ th’ kasbar-walls (spelling permitting) of our consciousness, also full of other crawlies from the subconsc. insisting on evolutionizing: ever thought that all these nature shows are to suggest that we are not responsible for breaking the line of evolution—where’s those, on the way to, us; as inevident as, our claim to our next step? we have to feed on/of what’s around us within touch and other stimulants (sensual/sensitive, us: all recorded/re-readable events in our consc.-diary), if/as we undergo awarenesses of their presences (sic)—always wanted to make use of that!

(forgive tangents;
also crawled in
butchart replied
no worries.. i love your tangents drew.. and i tend to agree with you…... i think on a subconscious/even conscious level we are aware and are affected by unseen stimulants.. i.e.as in pheremones…and touch… and things which don’t even have a name…..... light streams and the purity of spirit as energy….. now i’m on a tangent.. ha…..... anyways…...... thank you so much…...... peace and light…...b

How.. do I keep missing your poems, not just yours. But to miss yours is a missing piece indeed. Do you know, that I dreamed that you had posted this poem before? Or have you?
I love the image of braille inside.. your words are infused with passion, as I began to read, I saw the smoke curling around your page.. and the shadow of a promise.. you have that ability to paint images very visually whilst as the same time your words vibrate with emotion.. =D
butchart replied
no worries my friend… it is hard to keep track of so many people here.. i’ve found that i have missed alot of your wonderful work as well
i thank you for your kind words here.. i think you get it more than most….. that promise was much like the smoke… and the “braille” was wiped clean.. but we go on don’t we?..... love and light…......b
