Balance


Mid-day and it sometimes seems
too much to achieve that balance:
beauty, progress and serenity.

A lesson in the cabbage butterfly:
its tiny feet holding a beautiful
meadow sage, enormous wings
spreading into the light.

    Stunningly beautiful image in photograph and your words. "Enormous wings spreading into the light," so lovely.

    To be grounded enough to float free. Perfect! The image is wonderful.

    Thanks, Barb. I am going to use your "grounded enough to float free" idea in another poem....something longer than a "Stone".
