Poem
BUTTERFLY Fly O butterfly fly in the clear and sunny day Fly about in freedom in your haphazard way. Fly onto colorful flowers and plants giving sustenance away Fly as only you know how and live to see and fly another day. Such a creature that you are and so very delicately made A marvel of creation clothed in colors which do persuade. What a contrast there is while you're motionless to that when you're in flight A splendid example of nature to which all the credit is due allowing this sight. Although you have your own season and have much with which to display You're only here for a short time and like to make the most of it each day. With angelic-like wings of splendor it seems you fly around effortlessly From one area to another wherever your discretionary whim takes thee. And you have wings that are mostly poised upright behind you when in rest While those of your kindred are but lowly hung and only widespread at best. It also occurs to me you're more refined and sensitive by birthright than your relation As you're the one who avoids flying headlong into objects and get the most adulation. You are a creature of metamorphosis or the product and result of transforming change Could this be the reason why that beauteous form of yours covers such a broad range? For in the life-span which has been allotted to you a rare beauty you've now become An exemplar of harmonious existence with nature that is evidently a hobby for some. In the whole wide world there's hardly a creature that bears any resemblance to you And it's only in your rather less noble relation the moth there's some semblance true. You're verily also a creature that appears to revel in broad daylight Though your cousin is mainly one who usually abounds in the night. Fly O butterfly fly and may you find your happy mate Fly to where love takes you and wandering does sate. Fly all around to every place in your naturally free and delightful state Fly as only you know how and live to share with all that eventful fate. ________________________
