Fluttering yellow and black,

They land for a sip of water.

Their friends float near by,

Bouncing rays off gossamer wings.

A moment of peace in a crazy world

The spin slows to quarter time

And calm takes over.

The heart slows, a smile spreads.

Wish you were here to see this place.

Travel down the gravel roads,

Listen to the babbling streams.

Watch as the butterflies take flight.
