Beloved monarch or milkweed butterfly, Your migration may mystify, Do you migrate from Australia or America?, How do you ascertained the area?, Your journey holds spiritual significance, It serves as a symbol of existence.
The Mexican Monarch
You may see them passing by
On their spiral flight, through the sky
You might see the North American Mariposa
While on your patio enjoying your Mimosa
A two-way journey, migración magnifico!
From frigid Canada to welcoming warm Mexico
On milkweed plants or the Buddleia bush
Imbibing on rich sugar beads, a butterfly’s kush
Dramatic millions! Bright orange trimmed with black
East of the Rocky Mountains where they’ll go back
Endangered phenomenon is the avian march
Overwintering travel of the Mexican Monarch
This was not my imagination
For I was alert and sober,
When I witnessed an odd migration
At midday, in early October
A dying leaf held me in it's spell
Tumbling passed limbs and bark,
Twisting and turning as it fell
And transforming into a monarch
Emerged a newborn butterfly
Just before it hit the ground,
Taking wing toward the sky
Helped by the wind around
Freed from her rooted tree
Let go, like a child's balloon,
A split decision it had to be
With no time for a cocoon
I watched as it beat about
New spots of orange and black,
Confidently and without a doubt
That it would not be coming back
Away she flew up into the sun
And my eyes I tried to shade,
To glimpse before this dream was done
Because in the distance she would fade
Answered were all my quandaries
Before this leaf met the grass,
Proving there are no boundaries
That Mother Nature could surpass
How could she be so agile
Soaring on paper thin wings?,
How something frail and fragile
Could do extraordinary things!
monarch butterflies
fly south to escape the chill
as russet leaves fall
