"Monarch" 

new wings spread
blue morph 
born to be king

for a short while
the butterfly reigns
cameo dressage 

part of the branch
grounded majesty
in a gilded cage

a new servant to take 
upon the mystery 
of things

much sky to cover,
a new world, a realm  
investing new age

outside the life
of the always known
that ebbs and flows by moon 

swift offering 
en masse as one
chalice to alter 

to lift
to pray 
and sing

make golden
for the next in line
an imprint 

ordained by 
something 
greater

“I dreamed I was a butterfly, 
flitting around in the sky; 
then I awoke. 
Now I wonder: 
Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, 
or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?” 
(Zhuangzi)


“When thou dost ask me blessing, 
I'll kneel down, And ask of thee forgiveness: 
so we'll live, And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, 
and laugh At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues 
talk of court news; and we'll talk with them too, 
who loses and who wins; who's in, who's out; 
And take upon's the mystery of things, 
As if we were God's spies: and we'll wear out, 
In a wall'd prison, packs and sects of great ones, 
That ebb and flow by the moon.” 
(Shakespeare)
