Delicate creature

what a vision of beauty you are!

Your amber, golden hues glow as you flutter on my fingertips.

Your gentle flight has the power to preserve.

Your existence is timed and purposed.

You were born in September

and travel great distances.

You are the fourth generation.

Remember the Monarch tired one! 

Your rest will soon come.

A wandering warrior she is.

Perseverance continues her legacy.

The epitome of endurance rests upon her wings.

Grasp tightly onto her example.

Cherish her loud message.

Oh weary one

you can endure to the end.
