Autumn's Butterflies

Stemmed wings upon an autumn breeze
directionless ambassadors take flight
cast red against the morose, darkened sky.
Beauty’s flying carpet on the wind.

'Beauty's flying carpet on the wind'.... such a lovely image, so very novel ! These 'directionless ambassadors' will find direction, the moment they spot a flower full of pollen....

'directionless ambassadors' -- what a phrase! what an image! I almost picture Rahm Emmanuel winging his way to Japan; one of Biden's boys there, vulgar to his core. lol.
