Butterfly

Willowy wisps of color hang in air,
As bright rainbow palettes with silken wings.
To dance aloft without a noticed care.
Beneath the blue canopy, Nature sings.
This delicate realm where my eye explores,
From flower to flower they drift away.
And savor sweet honey, their heart adores,
The world turns slower each time they stay.
They appear to float like beauty's pause.
Kissing scented flowers as petals part.
For a serenity shared, to my applause,
And cause remembrance when they depart.

Though a life form apart, colors entice.
When we met as strangers in Paradise.

I find it quite intriguing, and often even amazing that so temporal a thing as a butterfly inspires so many different approaches to poetry (including my own) More and more, I see it, Thanks for yours!
