Butterfly

As she drinks nectar from a flower, sweetness from heaven falls like dew anointed with a gentle rain amidst sun showers she appears as if on cue Lifting her wings she lands on a Zinnia beneath a tinted sky of April blue flight of fancy fanning fast, fabulous marvel, she is beauty true on true Look at her fairy wings marked and checkered with dark veins And the frilled edges of its wings spotted with polka white stains. With every swing and every dive in the air, this marvel does amaze With its mesmerizing dance, a wondrous sight inviting us to gaze. The blue butterfly merges well with the azure sky as it ascends higher. As a splash of cobalt, again it comes down, landing on another flower. Its gentle spirit inspires us to soar high, fly and flutter on wings of joy Though its life is short, with the wind under its wings, it is out to enjoy!
