The Butterflies

The brilliant yellow sun was shining brightly in  the azure sky. A gentle breeze blew causing the leaves to rustle softly as the branches swayed gently. Puffy cotton-like clouds floated across the sky ever changing their shapes from nothing into animals and back to nothing. She sat crossed-legged in the grass on a blanket with her eyes closed soaking in the sun's warmth and light. Her heart felt peaceful and carefree as birds twittered and sang in the trees above her. She opened her eyes and watched a small yellow butterfly dancing across in front of her. It met with another butterfly and their dances joined as one. In their dance they began to spiral around around each other as if they were intertwining  their lives and hearts together as one. She closed her eyes briefly and saw them again in her mind. She smiled for it really was a most beautiful thing as she realized they were one with her.
