On The Butterfly Wing
Butterfly
Flutters on the wind
Blowing
Uncontrolled
Tiny wings flapping against
Powers greater than it
Delicate wings to little
To battle the endless flow
A leaf lost in a stream
Outmatched, but not
Defeated
Inside a strength
Greater than the billow
Strength to keep going
Strength to redefine power
Strength to be patient
To outlast and triumph
A strength, a great power
Inside the weakest
The smallest
The most overlooked
Of us, but
The most persistent
The power resides
Not in the hawk
Not the lion or the wolf
Not the eagle
In the butterfly
Or the mouse
The fallen flower petal
The lost honey bee
The trickle of a stream
The fairy standing in the rain
The lost, the broken
The confused, the crumbled
The stories all captured
Weaving in and out
Intertwining and dispersed
On the butterfly wing
