Tattered Wings
With tattered wings
you still fly
landing on flowers
as you pass by
Showing us strength
for another day
as you continue the journey
on your way
The beauty you shared
will be memories
fulfilling our hearts
and our fantasies
The nectar was sweet
that filled your desire
as the season will pass
I watch you expire
The journey is long
for the life you live
from just a small egg
to all the beauty you give
Just a swallowtail
with tattered wings
on a flower you land
so much beauty it brings
