Butterfly

Glass tears blanket the face

Of the butterfly

When she cries

It is mistaken for a faint melody


Her delicate wings bring her up

They brush the wind

She rises

She is the butterfly


Her colors blossom life 

into the empty world

Mother nature is born 

When the butterfly is born


The butterfly is grace

She knows control and fear

She consumes her predators

With her sparkling beauty


The butterfly is many things

She is delicate and she shines

She is lively and unique

She is above her predators 


The butterfly is many things

But many things aren’t the butterfly

I found inspiration for this when I spent some time outside and would see butterflies fly by.
