Smiles and Frowns

Butterfly dreams
touching rose buds of life
hopeful tomorrow


sudden storm
breaking the butterfly wings
withered rose buds.

Wow, what beautiful statements of truth you have presented here my friend! I love the smiles, but the frown stands out so much more and makes such a powerful statement, it's incredible Kashi(or do you prefer being called Kash?) I am amazed at your wondrous talent through this poem, I loved every piece of it...Great Work!!
