"a life lived"
in a short period of time
an unusual
burst of butterflies
migrating north
painted ladies
flying
towards resettlement
using sky as path
sunlight as compass
along the way
sipping
nectar from buds
along the way
pollenating
flowers to produce new seeds
along the way
organically producing
food for mass consumption -
benefitting humans and animals alike
along the way
alerting
the health of an entire ecosystem
along the way
vividly painting
the world more colorfully
a delicate creature
with a delicate lifespan -
maybe, a few days
a few weeks
a few months
no more than a year, maybe
with moments of dormancy
but never sleep
achieving so much
in such little
time
not wasted
in a short period of time
an unusual
burst of butterflies
migrating north
painted ladies
flying
towards resettlement
using sky as path
sunlight as compass
along the way
sipping
nectar from buds
along the way

flowers to produce new seeds
along the way
organically producing
food for mass consumption -
benefitting humans and animals alike
along the way
alerting
the health of an entire ecosystem
along the way

the world more colorfully
a delicate creature
with a delicate lifespan -
maybe, a few days
a few weeks
a few months
no more than a year, maybe
with moments of dormancy
but never sleep
achieving so much
in such little
time
not wasted
