The Right Zephyr

For Frieda.

Butterfly, wings scarred and damaged,
Clings and waits, 
Knowing the right zephyr will come,
So she can fly again.

Like paper, so delicate are the wings of a butterfly to be carried away, injured, on an absent and anguished wind. Beautifully written, Mark.

Ah, hope, waiting for the that uplifting zephyr to the skies, to freedom. I like that you used words she loves to use in her poems.
