Does a Butterfly Remember

does a butterfly remember jahan could design no greater work of art for beloved mumtaz. did he weep as he watched heavenly perfection flutter dance through his garden outshining the rarest blooms. does the butterfly remember? does she remember that once she fell from the fingers of god into the heart of a pale blue lily. then drank her fill of the nectar of eden a tear appeared on the blessed cheek all was innocence in that time. as short her life, as silent her comings and goings she passes through the softness of summer god’s diminutive palette. does she remember, us? from earth bound egg to winged glory each passage ends complete in its change. her wings carry the final tales in a blaze of delicate design.
