A butterfly alights
On a flower
Defiantly
Silhouetted in
The sky
Where clouds churn
Wild, in disarray
Foaming, spitting
At the dawn
Which threatens
Their pretense
Of power.
Breaking through
A shaft of sun
Pierces as a
Rod of iron
Splitting dark
With shards
Of gold
To reach the
Butterfly in flight
His nimbus
Proving
He was right.

Very nice poem. The photo is also one of the best butterfly photos I've seen anywhere. You are so talented!
Ahh, what a nice find for me this morning....poetry and photography! Is there anything better? Oh yes!....music! I enjoyed your poem of the butterfly...your imagery is beautiful and your language takes command. And you caught God's creation through your lens wonderfully!
