Flight of the Monarch
bound within its tight cocoon a butterfly begins its metamorphose transcending from the lowly caterpillar into its stunning alter ego emerging as a beautiful monarch perched with wings to dry the flight of the monarch butterflies enthralls the world the beginning of a journey that takes the breath of the world away flying from canada to spend its winters in a small mexican village a flight never seen or made before yet with accuracy it goes the flight of the monarch butterflies enthralls the world traveling months in unfamiliar dangerous paths never wavering delicate creatures bravely venturing forth as others before merging together in texas with millions the journey almost done the flight of the monarch butterflies enthralls the world reaching a small village where villagers await their arrival excitedly believed by some to be spirits of loved ones returning home one that occurs with precision always knowing where to go the flight of the monarch butterflies enthralls the world the time clock within sends them on their way to where they began returning takes longer they continue to breed and die along the way the cycle repeating time so precise they finally arrive again in canada the flight of the monarch butterflies enthralls the world it is always the monarch from canada that travels the longest the one who captivates the world making the journey on its own a journey it has never known before a journey of survival the flight of the monarch butterflies enthralls the world Vote for this poem
