Monarch butterfly
Delicate orange wings trimmed in black
Floating through the sky
Winged flower

Joined by thousands
A ribbon of bright color
Stretching across the blue horizon

As I sat in the grandstand listening to some great bluegrass music in Winfield, Kansas, I lifted my eyes up in wonder at the migration of the monarch butterfly as they traveled south into Mexico. This truly was a moment in time I’ll always remember.
