Butterfly in Black



Flying at night
no one can see
their beauty
but me
flying in threes
how they used to be
now just a painted memory.



photo taken with my iPhone.

One butterfly for each...stillness...silence...solitude.
So soothing.

Butterflies and memories... both are beautiful (hopefully), fragile, and silent. Love this, and love the iPhone capture!
