Butterflies

Butterflies

By May Kwek

Colours as bright as dawn’s glow

Moving lightly with the wind’s flow

Gracefully gliding, flying high

Over the trees and into the sky

As quiet as the deafening night

Never showing a morsel of pride

Although it’s nature’s canvas on painted wings

Whose beauty rivals those of kings!

So small and yet indispensable

In the circle of life

For the flowers need them

To carry their pollen with flight

And perhaps you will see one today

Or maybe two or three

With its ballerina dance

It simply can’t be missed!

So watch it as it gently flies

Colours as bright as the morning sky!

Watch it as it quietly glides

Nature’s radiance ever so bright
