The Sapphire Butterfly
The brightness of the full moon as it sneaks through the trees
Breaks open the cocoons of these sapphire blue beauties
Their life span is short, lasting only the cycle of the moon
Leaving much to do, for their time will end too soon.ย
If you are lucky enough for one to light softly on your fingers
You then will have a chance of wishing while it lingers
For once the wish is proclaimed and the butterfly is set free
It flies off to the Spirit where all wishes will come to be.

This is a fun Monday prompt that Sadje is sponsoring and since I am a fan of butterflies, I just had to play along. Come join along with What do you see? and tell us what all you see.
And remember as with the beauty of nature, the beauty of kindness can also bring an inspiring moment. Try to always be kind.
Lovely words!
