The monarch butterfly spreads her wings
I see orange church windows
Arches inside arches
Delicate yet resilient
Darkness and light merge
Thick black ridges separate each part
Translucent to let light in
To let light out
Protect or to conceal?
Tiny white specs
Purity
Enticing the curious among us to delve beneath the wings
Go behind the orange windows
Is it true that you carry a spirit?
We whisper
We listen for a message from the spirit
We don't always hear one
We leave you be monarch butterfly
We leave you to fly free
Monarchs behind orange windows...let us fly free
Leave us be

Enjoyed. I could see the stain-glass church window in the butterfly for the first time. How delicate both are. Both works of art. Thank you.
