Flutter By Moment

 

it alights

softer than a whisper

on my sleeve

 

almost

as if it sought me out

I sit

 

relax

breathe in the gentle air -

the butterfly

 

spreads out its wings -

this moment

I am

 

at one

with nature

sharing the fragility

 

imagining

a place where all

could feel secure -

 

wearing

the butterfly

like a heart

 

on my sleeve
