Mamta Agarwal - A Perfect Landing

A gaily painted butterfly hovers over
A dainty flower, as a miniature helicopter
Patiently waiting for a landing signal,
The flower welcomes the timely arrival

And guides it to its destination,
As there is no traffic congestion
It makes a perfect landing with precision,
Without any accident or collision,

The butterfly deposits its cargo
Noiselessly moving to and fro,
Flower offers nectar to the visitor
Later it takes off with a flutter.

Spellbound I watch this in silence
And my senses revel in the image.
Have I ever seen, I wonder
Two butterflies on the same flower?

A mystery novel may grip the mind of a reader
Can it surpass the thrill of reading the book of nature?
