Like the Fluttering Wings of Butterflies

Like the fluttering wings of butterflies
                            swiftly gliding through the open arms
                                    of the haunting charms
                                          of sacred skies.

                           Flags unfurled, a breathtaking fleet,
                            a royal flotilla, majestic and proud;
                   heroic mariners of will ~ and grace endowed.
                An orchestra in motion, performing a melodic suite.

                      Wings, like sails, seize the wily breeze,
                       a mystical journey, far, wide and free;
                tethered in the rhythm, of the power of the sea.
                   Lofty, drifting, clouds above, in silent reverie.

John Watt August 19, 2022 at 9:21 AM Paulette, I so enjoy watching butterflies, whether they be flying solo or in "a royal flotilla". Love the way you have depicted these graceful creatures. I especially appreciated the line, "an orchestra in motion, performing a melodic suite."
