Butterfly Wings

Butterfly wings utilize
Ultra-thin translucent scales
To manipulate color.
Timeless masters of flight, they
Excel at graceful gliding.
Ranging in sizes, they run,
From small to gigantic, and
Like living art, often fill
Your heart with wonder and joy.

Wings flutter with an opal,
Iridescence; as Nature's
Nimble butterflies pause to
Glean droplets of sweet nectar,
Siphoned from the hearts of blooms.
