winged ruler

 Floating on the winds
 of summer, he glides with ease
towards  the  flowers;
selecting one he fancies,
 monarch sits upon his throne

    Well done! I've read it three times and came up with different images each time. This is a piece you can come back to multiple times and find something new.
