Devoid of Birth

I am a butterfly
without conversion
flying in the sky
immersion

I have eternal life
for that is promised
I skipped the wildlife
I am the calmest

I was given wings of glory
so that I avoided transformation
this is my story
hence your acclimation

I have a feeling this could have been both personification and a metaphor, Angela. They both work for me in a delightful way. ~ Regards // paul

Thank you, Caren. I had to look it up to see what you were talking about. I'm only familiar with Shakesphere and a couple of others. :)

Yes they are. I don't see very many anymore. They were always around when I was a child. Thank you, Victor for commenting. I always appreciate your visit. :)
