Yellow butterflies, enlighten
our view, there –
here – over there, float.
Random sightings, light –
airy – mellow.
Never seen before
time, shaded brilliant
hues. Mosaic Monarchs
near October’s denser
air, and time to go.
Yellow butterfly, luminous
reliable wing spread
chosen- breath of spirit
into nature’s cloudless fold.

Love this!
Phoebe is a small, light, yellow butterfly. In our family a Phoebe shows up often, lifting our spirits and was very present during the loss of a special person.
