Magic in the air

By Razia Chagla

We, the winged creatures.

The beautiful beings.

Flying all around in the fresh morning breeze

Sitting on the flowers

Flowers smelling sweet and sometimes not so sweet.

Drinking up the nectar and having to fight for it with the bees. And of course the humming birds which are so sweet.

We are an admired lot

Which flutter around in the sunlight bringing happiness to the beings..

Our lives are short and sweet,

So welcome us when you see us fluttering free with glee.

The mystery around us is astounding for a few people who see us as their destiny.

Their destiny in relation to our colors.

For with the passing of their dear ones

We make a magical entry

So look around for us, we may be that someone dear you lost one-day and has come back as someone free to look at you with blessings for their sweet darlings.

Yes, you guessed right we are the butterflies of this world dear ones.

And we are free

we are free.
