A Butterfly

A butterfly passed in front of me

And I was enthralled by her mystery,

Like that flash of bulb within,

When I learn important things.


Hidden message lies within

The beauty of her wings,

Small wings but hold great things

And spilled it in her fluttering.


I basked in her presence for a brief moment

And my soul has been quenched,

I’m so lucky to have seen it

as for grasping this occurrence.


So this phenomenon I’ve versed

Like the cycling secret of the universe:

Life and things how much we love will pass

All will be well if we’re at peace with that

some can see the hand of the creator at work. yet others think nature does it on it's own. but in this piece i'm sure that you've seen the truth that butterflies dont paint their own wings. John H Loving III
