A brilliant rose offers its sweet nectar to nourish a butterfly’s recent transformation. The dewy morning embraces them both, bolstering the rose and easing the adjustment for the butterfly from darkened cocoon to the light of day. What simplistic beauty there is in this intricate example of life supporting life.
Dew drops fall
Rose buds drink
Petals blossom
A butterfly grows
Each accepts their role
Without questioning
No drama
They just do
What they were designed
To do
Humans could learn a thing or two from nature.
