Butterfly Wings


Stable in beauty we wait
Flora entreating
The whim of exquisites
Stamen chosen, or not
Your butterfly wings spread
It's effect across the planet
Heart yearning
This delicate flower
Touch me?
Then touch another
A flit
Weather altered
Typhoon started
Flooding forth and then
Abated
Your chrysalis cocooned
Formed and reformed
Delicate and protected
Beneath my broad strong leaves
I hold you in hope
To watch you free again and again
Loved
But you then love another
