Flutterby

White butterfly, you with the flappy wings,
Flitting around the flowers in the sun,
Going about your business in a way
That calms my agitation, tell me now,
What’s up in your world? Recent caterpillar,
Reborn after a snooze in your cocoon,
Now whizzing in a hurry to get done
Whatever urgencies consume your brain.
I suppose it’s mostly eating and mating.
The world of insect life goes on and on!
As does the human one, but you have brought
Without intending it, these happy thoughts.
