Following the Butterfly

following the butterfly

the process is mystifying
magical and very unique 
from a crawly worm 
to becoming magnifique 

it’s alot like the process 
from a vision without a cause
to the one knowing that everything 
exists within your pause

to become the beautiful one
that everyone hopes to be
starts with the mind being 
still, and in harmony

your true self is a butterfly 
waiting to be released
each of us has their own 
pattern of being at peace

yes… peace has a pattern
it’s soothing to see
but more often it’s felt
putting everyone at ease

it’s because of this peace 
we look at butterflies
by watching them be,
our peace is recognized
