The Resolute Butterfly Poem by Kevin Cowdall

I mark the erratic progress
of a fluttering butterfly;
dipping and bobbing,
a dash of creamy-white
against the long grass
and the rainbow hues
of myriad wild flowers
scattered across the meadow.

Flitting from stem to stem,
pausing for a moment or two
before continuing on its way;
a determined progression
to its seemingly random flight.
I admire its resolve and watch
until it disappears from view,
and I wave and wish it well.
