The more freedom you have, the shorter is your span of life.
Mayflies and their mating dance

Over pools

Over oceans

Over reflective vaults

Over the sea

Over rivers

Shining seas

Golden flames jumping off

The ocean floor

Into the eyes

Beneath the sky

a ritual, a butterfly dance

Holding its spinning wheels for the sweet romance

It breaks free, flits, lights

Emerges into the world

Already knowing its purpose

To shimmer above like pure silk

Then to die

This is the call of the mating season

of the

Mayflies.
