The tiger butterfly is flying through the garden, a feeling of certain assuredness sets in - of its alighting on an Ixora or a Bougainvillea, since they are in its path. The tiger butterfly, charts its path in a straight un-looped line. The tiger butterfly flies a while, flies back along another charted path and leaves the flowers untouched.
there is still wonder
in the flight of butterflies
only passing by

Sigh 💜💜💜 to be as assured as a passing butterfly 😍 that is a beautiful and inspiring message, Gillena. Thank you so much for writing to the prompt.😊
Our paths are unpredictable, regardless of our plans. Yes.

Thank heaven, there is still so much wonder!
Without a path, there is no fixed destinantion. I love the metaphor of the tiger butterfly...it makes me ponder.

A beautifully rendered haibun. The haiku - which I found to be truly transcendent in its depth - completes the piece, perfectly.
I love their erratic way of flying butterflies as it is a cross between 'which flower to I pick next?' or 'I feel a bit drunk the feast!
Choice sometimes becomes so difficult. Life is a puzzle indeed. Beautiful, Gillena.
Oh that amount of magic and wonder is what sustains us!

The flight of a butterfly is so uplifting So nice.
Butterflies are always bringers of delight! As is your haibun.
Your haibun is so beautiful, Gillena! I’ve been watching butterflies from my window – the wonder in your haiku expresses how I feel.
Certainly our paths are unpredictable but there is still wonder. I love your hopeful take on the theme. Beautiful!
