On butterfly wings colors painted
Truth floating shades to eyes tainted
Fluttering hues and patterns imbue
Each a different moth they view
Some say black with shades of yellow
To another an orange patterned fellow
Some see lines where others see dots
Where some view numbers others see spots
In flight flittering wings in play
On the ground reversed wings on display
Wind's illusion a spark in the air
Where all observers are right, both colors it does bear
Two different viewers that pursuers both see
In flight or alight, both right, though they may disagree

Thank you Kevin for the read and comment it is most appreciated
Soren, this carries that firm realization that perspective shapes everything…what’s seen in motion, what’s seen at rest, and how both can hold truth at the same time. The image of the wings shifting between views ties it all together in a clean, thoughtful way. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
