White Butterfly

whitebutterfly

Elegant symbol
catches the light.

Ready to soar.
Wings expanding.

Flooded with freedom.
Any place is home.

Partners with blue
Friends with green.

One second to
admire her beauty.

One minute later
you remember her.

The white queen
of nature.

Restricted creature,
that blossomed one day.

The white queen
of the sky.

Playful, she seeks
she hides.

Playful, she
disappears.

Leaving a lasting
trail of beauty.
