My Journey to God

Glasswing

seemingly
all legs
and antennae
with thin
gossamer

wings
those angels
dark veins
opaque borders
often red

camouflage
unusual
blends
right in
to the bright

tropical
scenery
occasionally
harbors
appearance

of a stately
European
cathedral
look: the lives
of Jesus

John
the Little
Flower
St. Thérèse
the dove

(Nettie Farris is a member of St. Mary-of-the Knobs Parish in Floyds Knobs. Her poem describes the beauty of a butterfly’s wings, which resemble segments of a stained-glass window.) †
