Once there were many ...



The man looking for butterflies walked towards the sea - 

Pale waves broke against the shore of stones - 


A narrow stair had led me to this cove - 

I had  been drawn to this place - 


The white stones reflected the March sunlight -

Water flowed from a spring into a basin -

A drowsy bee rested on salty greenery -


They bask in the sun, the butterflies -

I turned to listen - 


Once there were many, now there are few -

The man looking for butterflies smiled a sad beautiful smile -
