Visiting Mexico City for the 2nd time as guest of friend and lover a butterfly is an omen of joy, freedom and love.

Early morning day of departure

Mexico City

Darkness

All sleeping dreaming

Illuminating suddenly

Large black butterfly

Flew above my head

Encircling chandelier

Wings spread

Revealed rainbows

Tempo of movement

Heartbeap

Joy soul set free

Leaving chrysalis

Confined no longer

Free as the dance

I danced for him

Last night
