Great Start

A black butterfly visits 
a morning display 
of dew wet flowers.
No concern about the mere mortal 
tending the garden.
It's soon joined by
a phalanx of small whites.
Handmaidens 
to a royal presence.
The beauty brazenly sits 
on an extended hand.
Opening and closing wings
while surveying the feast of nectar before it.
The tiny whites move as if 
dancing to an unheard melody.
My day is off to a great start.
