A yellow swallowtail
catching my attention
elegant butterfly moving
dancing on the humid air
flitting within the garden.
Alighting, resting,
perching on each flower
standing on the skin of water
the sun shining brightly
on every bloom, alive.
Infused with their color
soaked in their wings -
yellow of the zinnia,
pumpkin of the marigold,
the blaze of the lily.
Color painted, saturated,
in shimmering reflection
living canvas of their wings
aglow, singing Your praises,
Creator of all there is.
