no portent of delight…

Momentary

There is beauty in being,

stunning beauty of the moment,

when creature and bloom

make a tiny community of two,

the flower offering so much,

as if caring to give energy for life,

the butterfly taking so little.

No guardian brings them together

to share goodness

for futures they do not share,

a metamorphosis brought them alive

but did not portend delight,

did not augur the beautiful exchange,

it set them free to play a role,

their give and take is feeding my soul.
