Butterfly's Shadow

In the green of this forest as I walk along
sunbeams flooding the forest floor
As I stare ahead on this dusty
path before me wings, unfurling
winging ahead is the butterfly's
shadow Dancing to each step I take
bobbing in flight above me, as
a gentle breeze catches it unaware,
causing it to go ahead of me.


Laughter bubbles up inside of me,
watching my crown of glory,
a winged butterfly shadow,
announcing my presence to the
wooded forest floor. Bobbing, weaving,
always ahead, preceded by the butterfly's
shadow. Sunlight muted here,
scents of the forest floor assailing
me, pines thick with sap.

There before me, two shadows now,
dancing, spiraling upward, round and
round, no longer the shadow, the dance
of two, wings fluttering, touching,
reaching, as joy springs forth
from me Watching one of
natures shows and experiencing
the butterfly's shadow.
