On Wings of Mission Blue

to fly like a butterfly through life would be surreal...

If I could be a butterfly

I'd paint me mission blue

and soar like cobalt over tips

of silver lupine too-

I'd coalesce with copper canyons

towering in time,

I'd sip from every flower top

and honeycombs divine-

And when my world cannot be had

my quintessential wings,

would fold to form a canopy

to keep me from life's stings......
