Do you feel it in your wings,
 the changing light
 as it softens
 and goldens?

Do you feel the season turning,
  pushing back from the table
 all full and content
 and grateful.

Do you hear the breeze sigh
  warm and hopeful
 as the earth exhales
 into the turn?
 

Do you feel a bit tattered
and summerworn?
I see you more beautiful still
and strong
and ready for the changes
as they come.

~flutters of hope to you and your bright wings.

"butterfly wings are transparent,  humble,  small and pretty. 
 they are also strong enough to fly across continents."
