Wings

Hope is the thing with feathers

— Emily Dickinson

I thought I saw a butterfly—

open-winged & lofting on 

a pleasant purple bloom, 

sunning itself in the early

afternoon, but little did I care

it was but a petal, fluttering,

flirting, inviting me to stay

and soak in the beauty,

content in knowing

that dancing flowers

and grateful humans

all have wings to fly.

—C.L. Fisher, March 2023
