Life Lesson

Tup tup tup, Her flimsy wings flutter
Tik tik tik, She knocks the inner door
Appears to connote life lessons
Could be heard only if we listen

Tethered her body and mind inside dark chrysalis
But blissful life, her soul envisaged and analysed
Soon emerges from a monochrome cocoon
And gracefully dances to the heavenly tune

Jumps across the colorful ixora flowers
Life saving quotes swiftly she showers

"When your mind confronts stress and tension  
Just Control your emotions and be patient
And hope and envisage for a better life
And you would be free from present strives"

Much enjoyed the tenor of your poem, Supraja. I hear and see the wings flutter emerging in graceful dance to savor nectar of life. Your poem speaks volumes of life lessons, especially in the last stanza. This is among your best and for me it is a FAVE.
