An Orange and Black Moment

An Orange and Black Moment I see fluttering shadows on the birdbath; I see you seeing me. We study each other – you are mesmerized; For the beauty that is me. One I am, the first this summer My orange and black wings I exercise. I see your admiration and love; I am a Monarch butterfly!

Monarch butterflies have the ability to travel long distances as love has the ability to withstand the test of time. Excellent dear, Sunlite!

Yes, I've seen pictures of them from down in Mexico as thick as bees on a hive.
