Emerging resurrected,
Imago-perfected
from cocooned metamorphosis.
As this change is affected,
her wings will
brilliant blossom to life!
This new soul so vulnerable,
as her wings provide
camouflage,
mimicry,
and illusivity.
If she survives,
an air-light and current-carried
creature she becomes;
wings gossamer and grand,
mariposa colors patterned and
painted pretty
by an artful faery,
imperceptible.
These slight,
feathery wing-flutters lift
it in playful hops over
her floral friends,
touching silently
in secret symbiosis with
the sweetest gifts.
The tiny currents created from such
winging forms waves of their own.
Ripples spreading out
and colliding with dandelion
seeds, silken rose pedals
and the hair on my arm.
This magnificent creature
of frailty and beauty sublime!
Could there be a more perfect
picture of divine design?
This is part two of three-part work in celebration of "Flower", "Butterfly" and "Bee"
