Monarch Butterfly
Maiden of beauty
Queen of flight
Your wings are
The color
Of
Tangerines
Dressed with spotted
Black dots
That smear together
As one
When you fly and flutter
About!
You seem like you
Maybe floating on
Something beautiful
Like the music of
Melody Gardot
Or possibly
Madeleine Peyroux?
Someone’s amazing music
Has to be lifting
Your wings upwards?
Floating on notes
And
Melodies
You have to be!
Your journey
To me
From
Across the sea
Is
One I hold dear
When I gaze upon you
Saying hello
Here and there
There and here
Throughout my day
Moving about
In my world
Braking the sunlight
Into
Segments of flashes
Like the end of a movie
On an old-style projector
When you and your kind
Swarm the sky above me
Oh
What a sight to see!
