Flight of the Butterfly

As a butterfly, I dance on air I tip toe on a breeze, I flutter and I fly My flight bounces from flowers to bushes I pretend to float on magic in the sky I am delicate, but I am strong My flight is filled with endurance Adventures, in every design I make My fulfillment, in every occurrence As a butterfly, yes I dance on air I feel lightness, happiness and joy People take notice and they watch Sometimes, I’m just a bit coy! My flight will be remembered Patterns on my wings, will mark my name Not one flight that I have taken Has ever been quite the same! Heidi Sands 7/19/22 Placed 2nd in the Flight Three Poetry Contest.

I find it fascinating how so many butterflies manage to dodge birds in flight, as well as how many butterflies manage to keep flying despite great chunks taken out of their wings! Like the papillon of Paris, each one has a great story of survival! Enjoyed! Aloha!

The funny thing about butterflies is no matter how you feel when they are around life seems a lot better
