The beauty of butterflies

Ephemeral Masterpiece

by Keanna Robin Brown


In resplendent hues of
vermilion, cerulean, and
auric gold,
A majestic lepidoptera
emerges, it's
metamorphosis unfold.
From cocoon's
confinement, it breaks
free at last,
Unfurling wings of
iridescent splendor, a
kaleidoscope to behold.

With wings of sapphire,
amethyst, and emerald's
vibrant sheen,
It flutters, a whirling
dervish, amidst pollen-rich blooms serene.
Dancing on zephyr's
breath, it sips nectar's
sweetness rare,
sunflowers, and lilies
sway, entranced, without
a care.

Its path, a mesmerizing
labyrinth of color and
light,
A fusion of art and nature,
an ephemeral delight.
With every flutter, a story
unfolds of transformation
and might,
A testament to life's
cyclical rhythm, a
symphony of beauty and
flight.

In gardens vibrant, where
blooms unfurl, and scents
intoxicate,
The butterfly reigns, a
monarch, its dominion,
uncontested, and great.
With wings of azure,
scarlet, and honeyed
gold,
It soars, a living
masterpiece, forever to
behold.

From cocoon's darkness
to sunlight's radiance, it
takes flight,
A phoenix born, reborn, in
splendor, a wondrous
sight.
With every beat, its wings
whisper secrets, of life's
mystery and might,
A dance of wonder, a
celebration, of beauty,
pure delight.
