Butterfly Wings

Take a moment, think about the life of a butterfly. It takes flight but when the wind blows, it flows the wind's whim. Struggling against breezy gale winds Its uniqueness unmatched in the animal kingdom yet their larvae appear hideous. Some caterpillars resemble Persian rug patterns but most are grotesque until a time of life's choosing. It springs forth in glorious wonder spreading its wings across sunlit skies with dandelions, violets and cattails bending at their elbows below. Going wherever the wind blows Taking it wherever beauty goes to reset Imagintion's womb... Sometimes the ugliest situations create the most beautiful things.
