Yellow Butterfly Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Flying around the desert, a lone little yellow butterfly
soars in and about desert flowers.

Taking time to be at home with nature, flitting around
and enjoying the life it has for as long as possible.

Praying for the protection from mankind so it may live
and fulfill it's tiny little purpose.

Capturing at the same time, the eyes of this poet who
realizes the importance of it's soul here on earth.

Calculating the distance and where to get itself some
pollen to spread around many flowers in gardens of this
vast desert.

Never resting, except for a moment, as it alights upon a
flower for it's nectar and then it's off again, soaring
through the atmosphere.
