fragile butterfly
blue reflects a summer sky
fleeting as a dream.

Butterfly 
Blink and you will miss me
Kisses in the air.
Flash of jewels so priceless,
Rare as angel hair.

Budlea surrounded,
Flower heads alive 
Fluttering like rainbows,
Dancing lilac hive.

Tiny white and ghostly 
Flirts with every leaf.
Precious life unfolding 
Time, this fairy’s thief.


Paper thin as memory,
Cobalt from the sky.
Silent star of summer,
Graceful flutter by.
