Butterfly Wings

Butterfly wings
Flutter by
Many colors
Catch my eye

Floating on
The gentle breeze
Those lovely wings
Show grace and ease

Kiss the petals
Of a rose
The scarlet of
A blossom grows

Reflected in
Those purple scales
Open wide
Like billowed sails

Touch the dewdrops
On the green
Wash those wings out
Fresh and clean

Flutter on
As morning calls
Orange light
On wingtips falls

Yellow flowers
Streaked with blues
Light those wings
In varied hues

A butterfly
I’d love to be
To paint a rainbow
And fly free
