Butterfly Goodbyes
Fluttering beauties descend
to feast upon purple blossoms
Summer has come to an end
The breeze is now cool
Soon they must go
down to Mexico...Mexico
Black veined magic
...orange winged gossamer
not much longer to linger here
They would not survive and so
there are whispers
of warmer Mexico...Mexico
Soon their wings
will beat goodbyes` staccato
Soon...soon…
I know…
Monarch Butterflies must go
winging to Mexico…Mexico...
