On Butterfly Wings

Written for a Poetry Circle challenge to the follow picture ('The Gathering' by Mitch Zorich):

On Butterfly Wings

The leader waits perched up high

Followers approaching from the sky

A pleasure to behold such a sight

In this world covered with white

Wings of colour float on air

Warmth in a world of despair

The snow melts on the perch you see

The ground glows where butterflies be

Gathering here for a reason

They bring about the change of a season

Winter’s blanket cast aside

The light of Spring shall not hide

Gliding in on butterfly wings

All the warmth that it brings

Shall give new life to this land

A sight so wondrous and grand

In all its glory, breath it takes

As, from its slumber, nature wakes

Shadow Whysper

This poem was actually written to a picture as part of a poetry writing challenge, (wish I could remember the name of the artist...). Glad you enjoyed my interpretation of it :-)
