    Pattern Whimsy     September 11, 2009

    finger dipped in ebony ink

    stroked against soft scaly gold

    pattern whimsical

    dots stars ovals stripes

    where I would perhaps

    mix and match

    Creator reveled in precision mastery

    each wing image

    perfect twin

    human eye cannot discern

    single error in every mirroring

    ​

    laughing with childlike delight

    God for brief moment thought

    reached across expectant universe

    gathered summer cloud glimmer

    finger now dipped in enamel white

    Master Architect adds ivory purity

    enhancing perfection

    ​

    then perhaps forgetting

    strength of divine breath

    God blew upon inks to dry them

    setting monarch butterfly into flight

    ​
