Lie in the sun and watch a butterfly land, fold its wings, pause, open and close, then … lift off … A magic being to watch, to examine the colours, the delicacy of the pattern …
TIME OF THE BUTTERFLY
slow shaking
of unsealed wings
spreading to wide sky
hovering on radiant wind
a time of gentleness
where all things pause
awake to senses
and opening life
birth from chrysalis
to flight
in gold-white lift
over sky-bound earth
the time of this
new
butterfly
