Metamorphosis

"Have you noticed there are many more butterflies lately?" She noted.
It was then I realised that yes -
there have been more than usual.

Perhaps it's the change in seasons -
Swarms adventuring together;
A couple pairing off to flutter flirtatiously through the trees;
A single, winged nomadic monarch
dancing by the stream...

Or is it something more than
the Autumn shift?
Butterflies - New Creation - reminding us
of the metamorphic journey of redemption.
Here to remind us, in their lightness,
that they rejoice in being new,
born again -
And so should we.

When we take time to breathe,
Stand in the warm sunlight,
And strip off a few excess layers,
It is much easier to observe:
Perhaps it is not unusual at all.
Value the change;
It is Nature's usual 🍂
