On the Meadow

Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Carlisle, Massachusetts

Meadows are in bloom
    and I expect those colorful flutters amidst the flowers,
         hoping that some may come closer to feel their ripples...

 A single Monarch is over there, suffusing the whole meadow with motion...

  ONLY ONE...
 
 Cannot but think of the recent decision from the International Union for Conservation of Nature
     to place
  Beloved Monarch Butterfly on the Red List of species at risk to become extinct.

  ONLY ONE... 

Great Meadows: ... a single Monarch is over there...

Great Meadows: ... suffusing the whole meadow with motion...

Great Meadows: ... only one...

Great Meadows: ... at risk to become extinct...

Great Meadows: ... only one...
