What Beauty Is

In my next life
I'll butterfly
and live just for a day.
My wings will flutter
beautifully
until they turn to gray
and then I'll die
and come to life
as human, second time
and realize
that beauty is
not close to paradise.

Glad to see you back on the "soup". This is a nice piece of verse. To come back as a butterfly - provocative thought! Peace & Love Matthew Anish
