Touched by a butterfly


The touch of a butterfly
on a child’s finger.
So evanescent,
yet filled with strength and trust.

Many things complicate life,
when we are neither child nor butterfly.
Too often fear and knowledge
overcome the gentle moment.

  1. What wisdom - and a fabulous photo. I'm in desert country now. If I see a butterfly, I'll welcome it.

  2. Enjoy your desert days. I really do love the arid spaces in our country. Hope that butterfly is near. I love many bugs, but butterflies are very special. I have a bunch of wonderful pictures from this particular photo shoot in a butterfly exhibit.
