Mesmerized

Mesmerized by the Monarch's flight
Flutter and swirling in the air
It danced around me so light
WIth happiness in its flare

it landed close to me a lot
Circling around me today
Taking rests in each peaceful spot
I watched it lift me on its way

My head turned with each move made
Such celebration to see
Not a reason to be afraid 
Mesmerized by serenity

My friend went along it's journey
Leaving me standing in its wake
Altered by swirling memory
With nothing left at stake

Nothing like the flight (and landings) of monarch butterflies -- so aptly named!
