There, in that part of the world She morphed from a chrysalis Into a scintillating butterfly A beauty beyond compare... Hesitatingly, unfurled wet wings Flapping them, started on a journey Battling storms, Chased by ubiquitous predators She drifted off into no man’s land... Her bright colours a challenge To the dependable greys and envious greens There were those who wanted to know her Possess her, stake ownership on her While others wanted to ‘be’ her Steal her unique, vibrant charm Dampen her wings and dim her light With tattered wings and colours mute Flutter on did she, until… Oh sumptuous haven! Graceful tapers of splendid purple hue Inviting her to display her elite beauty In glorious summer haze.

Lovely lines of the most unique delicate creature.
To grace as a butterfly is in her elite beauty.

It's so good she reached the summer of her life. So many of those situations don't.

Ahhh . . . And the beautiful butterfly metamorphosed back into the vibrant beauty she had once been, hopefully for ever and ever . . .

Observing lives

The Watcher

What if, such people appear in life as a revelation to things we can''t see? <br>...food for thought

An 'Alternative Perspective'

One's Best Ally.

When Nature summons there is always magic.

Moon Calling

<br>When Nature blows its own trumpet, it cannot be ignored.

The Gathering of Joy

Only the Good Souls

Let heaven and nature sing

It's all a question of balance.

{speaks for itself} <br> <br>The words in the image are mine too.
