Glasswing Butterfly

 

 

Glasswing Butterfly

 

Opalescent wings shimmer gently in soft morning breeze,

fragile, sheer, alight with colors of sunshine and stars,

 

coruscating, she flies with quiet strength and grace,

her reflection lustrous, ephemeral — a kaleidoscopic,

 

changing prism of day and night,

ever-rising, blooming, fading

 

into the endless stretch of time.
