Monarch Butterfly

Beautiful monarch butterfly travels across the sea
Beyond water, beyond abstract, beyond destiny
He is spellbinding in his majesty
He is the definition for what it means to be free

Some poet wrote that because of its stupidity the butterfly
Across the ocean will try
To fly
And loose its way as it cuts across the azure sky

But I believe certain butterflies can cross the ocean
They are well adapted to aerial locomotion
They are symbols of divine devotion
They have purpose in crossing vastness of the ocean

Like butterfly crossing ocean ethereal mists are crossed by human soul
When to reach divine is its goal
In some ways life is designed by a full and like butterfly the soul can fall
But there is a path from every point of view endless that will rise when others 
would fall
