Yellow Butterflies Everywhere

Yellow butterflies everywhere
Fluttering about the car

Birdsong along the road
Billy Joel sings
A pale tan and white goat crosses the road
A tiny black squirrel
A mole
A chipmunk
Two deer
Men waving
An old stone schoolhouse

Yellow butterflies everywhere
Fluttering past the windshield

The zen structure
The old barns
Little Pond campground
Clear and clean
Canoes
Barbeques
Beware of bears
Selfie on the bridge
Helpful boy-men in pick-up truck

Yellow butterflies everywhere
Fluttering so near, so near

Green green green
Ferns, lilacs, moss covered logs
Rushing river
Rippling over rocks
Stone walls
Fallen fences, rusted wire
Barns fallen in on themselves
Abandoned creatures of yore
Birdsong, Blue skies

Yellow butterflies everywhere
Fluttering, fluttering
 
 
Butterfly Symbolism
What is the meaning of the butterfly? This animal totem is primarily associated with symbolism of change and transformation.
  • Powerful transformation, metamorphosis in your life, personality
  • Moving through different life cycles
  • Renewal, rebirth
  • Lightness of being, playfulness
  • Elevation from earthly matters, tuning into emotional or spiritual
  • The world of the soul, the psyche
A secondary meaning of the butterfly is about finding joy in life and lightness of being.

 
 


Turns out, they’re sulphur butterflies. Caterpillars of these butterflies feed on plants in the legume family. This includes beans, alfalfa, sweet clover and red clover. Because their caterpillars are readily found on alfalfa, the butterfly is sometimes called “alfalfa butterfly.”
