The White Butterfly

That February day imitated my weeping.  

As Tears mingled

 with a soft and steady Rain

then rolled  gently across my cheeks, 

the Tears and Raindrops splashed to my feet.. 

I looked to Heaven, seeking your Face,

I made a plea for God's Sweet Grace. 

There, on that wet winter day of loss,

riding the pain of a broken heart, 

is where I met the White Butterfly.

Gently, slowly it  fluttered  by

I held my breath and watched

 in wonder

as it hovered close enough 

for me to Touch.

Then -

 away  

My Butterfly  floated,

 delicately on a cold, damp breeze. 

In my longing to see You 

just once more,

 I wondered,

Are you there, is it You?  . 

Then I knew..

The  White Butterfly was 

God's Grace

Showing me,

 not your face,

But your 

Eternal soul.
