Papillon

beautiful butterfly
kaleidoscope of color
soaring seemlessly
with wings that don't have to move
yet still propel
selecting a serpentine path
that will lead them to the purest nectar
unique and unparalleled

you are

but you are like homo sapiens
shunning capture
will you flutter away and leave me too?
precious papillon
i will see you again some day
