Flutter

Alighted in the Sun

You already know

You can’t stay long

Yet you come into stillness

Anyways

Arresting your wings

As if the shadow cast

By your centeredness

Guides your next move

Like a divining rod

And you sense the pull

on your delicateness

Toward something bigger than yourself

Alighted in the sun

You already know

You are fleeting

And Yet your flutter lives

in the translucency of forever

In the reverberations

Of the butterfly effect
