The butterfly’s wings
So fragile, so meek
The image surreal
Breathtakingly sweet.
I watch from the window
A moment in time
I believe she is magical
A message, a sign.
I stop what I’m doing
Fixating my gaze
Watching, admiring
Completely amazed.
Her journey …. astounding
One place to another
She often encounters
The rain and the thunder.
Under a leaf
A safe, brief respite
Waiting and hoping
That she’ll be alright.
The new day is dawning
The sky…. a bit gray
While in the garden
I watch her fly away.
