Mariposa

Mariposa of the leafy wood

Delicately, she flits through

Hellebore and Corydalis

Feeding on sweet nectar too

She is free, as one must know

Capturing the spectators

In moments of time

As beauty surrounds her

‘Come what may’ as she glides

Across hawthorn bushes

That set near speckled oak

As the running creek rushes

An unbiased love she’ll share

Strength and virtue shines

A pleasure to behold

 While floating among vinca vines
