A Dream Is a Butterfly

A dream is a butterfly
Fresh from the cocoon
That is realized and soon
Flutters up into the sky

Or faltering, goes astray
Is suddenly killed
While young still
And fast fades away.

That title is stunning and so deep. How dreams are compared to butterflies is creative. Love the rhymes here too
