Charles Messina Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Beauty Unfolds

Mesmerized, she stood still...observing 
Unsure of what to expect next 
She is scared but not afraid 
Shall I pet him, she asks herself 
Will he fly away if I move 
Warmth is the only thing the butterfly feels 
Shall I fly away, he asks himself 
Will she run away if I fly 
As they both stare - frozen 
Danger never exists  
They share a wonderful moment 
Beauty unfolds 



This is my granddaughter Ava Rose. 
My daughter captured this beautiful moment.
