THE MONARCHS ENGAGED US

 

The monarchs engage us. We amazed them. We’ ‘the colorful butterfly people'' saw silent fluttering hovering overhead, their duty to the flowers n trees was now shared with us, We eight colorful WOMEN vibrantly intoxicated them with our passion fruit.

We amazed them, we the beautiful colorful, butterfly of people...saw silent fluttering, hovering overhead. Riding on our rhythms as we danced. They remembered us from millennium's ago.

The butterflies thought we were amazing. The butterflies danced with us... We think they watched us watching them. And then joined in; They were riding on our rhythm, that music that we vibrated through the air, the lake was also keeping a beat with the chopping waves.

As 8 black women celebrating life...out in the woods, suddenly bonded with the butterflies. Monarchs on a mission, swarmed on us like friendly bees dancing in formation;

We unknowingly extended an open invitation.

They danced over us excitedly to: rolling on the river…

Obviously, ‘the butterflies thought we were amazing''!

Butterflies converged on us like sky swans diving in formation then hovered.  It was then we unknowingly extended an open invitation… obviously, ‘the audience of beautiful monarch butterflies thought we were amazing''!

As we danced and sang to the SUPREMES.
