On Butterfly Wings

On clear bright days I catch a glimpse Of what is a rare and beautiful sight. Endangered, once feared to be lost to time A gem to the butterfly world. The Monarch making a brave return Bringing to me a smile on beating wings. Timeless beauty wrapped in a silk cocoon Free to flutter where the wind goes. Dancing on air without missing a beat Enchanted by your beating heart. Knowing I have seen rare beauty. On more than one occasion you have come, Like the rainbow that comes by. Peeking through the clouds, around corners. Reminding me on several occasions, To follow inspiration, to keep chasing rainbows. To fly on butterfly wings.
