Delicate as breath

“Why do you think butterflies fly like that?” I ask my granddaughter as a white butterfly zigzags overhead.  “I don’t know,” she says, pondering.  “It makes them more noticeable.” It does! And I love that about butterflies. They ride the breeze, delicate as breath, strong as a heartbeat, silent as light. 

They may be silent but they say quite clearly, “ I’m here! No, here! Hey! Up here! Good-bye!”
