ILLINOIS AUTUMN: The Butterfly

THE BUTTERFLY

So late
A Butterfly
And
Yet
It flew
Before me
From the
Grass
This day
When
Luther
Hammered
Ninety-five
Strokes
Upon the door
These
Four Hundred
Eighty Three
Years Ago
And just
As freedom
Was thought
Dead then
So such life
Surprises us
At an hour
When we
Thought
It's light
Put out

  1. What an appropriate day to see a butterfly! I love when God surprises us like that. His way of saying, "I'm here."
