Dapple of sunlight floats back and forth on the wind,
Wings beat together to stay off the ground
flittering
fluttering
floating
flickering
flapping
Flowers reaching up to help the frantic little dapple of sunlight
life so short
Fighting against harsh winds
from flower to flower
and still the dapple keeps taking to wing
flittering
fluttering
floating
flickering
flapping
with each flower she helps bring the seeds
drinking to refresh
moving on to the next
flittering
fluttering
floating
flickering
flapping
A life moving
A life bringing more life
flittering
fluttering
floating
flickering
flapping
I love the language play here, Samantha. Shades of Gerard Manly Hopkins. The refrain works nicely.
