Butterfly rescue

Stuck with foam & sand

Strolling along the sea our eyes were caught by
Your struggle with sand and foam flapping uselessly
Your altered colored wings…we then gently held
Them between our thumb & index to place you under
The protection of the dunes where you clung to the
Dry weeds grasping with all your might succeeding
To flap your wings once again rendering your freedom

And ours…

Flapping in desperation

Feel free to bring awareness around you to this predicament.

If this video stops just one person from funding this practice, then it has done it’s job.
