Pause for the Gift

Daily Note

Every day, a photograph, a poem. Long ago, outside my classroom door as I left school after a day of teaching, I stopped to watch this swallowtail butterfly find its perfect place, pausing long enough for this photo. Always pause and focus for the fleeting beauty in our lives.

Pause for the Gift

Floating on air
Here and there
Up and down
Painted wings
Yellow delight
Pause to focus
Nature’s fleeting gift:
Swallowtail butterfly
