Sweet little Swallowtail in repose
drinking your divine nectar
Knowing only your code
Birthing – eating – mating – dying
simple is the life you have
Sweet little Swallowtail in repose
Pretty yellow Butterfly
in your short time on Earth
You spread joy – you spread life
Flitting from flower to flower
rejuvenating this withering Planet
Pretty yellow Butterfly
The cataclysm of man
unknown to your kind
Nectar of innocence only for you
May nectar-full flowers fulfill
all the days of your life – away from
The cataclysm of man

Thank you Sadje! Oh yes and the butterflies, bees, frogs and toads become fewer every year. 🦋

Love this sweet poem Ami. If it weren’t for the butterflies and bees, we would be dead from starvation
