Orange Sulphur Butterfly Galaxy — Image by kenne
A butterfly
wrapped
in floating shapes
the mountain air
  under a
peaceful blue sky
where my heart
   dances with
reflected tree shadows
moving with the wind.
I will not take back
  one butterfly,
one flower,
  one fallen giant ponderosa
all belonging
where trails provide
   avenues
for friends sharing
nature's reawakening.
