Butterflies



Nature's coloured beauty on double wings,
from self-imposed chrysalis
through struggling transformation
it stretches to explore its world.

Free flight on the wings of the wind.
Immaturity believes in the capture
of the creature, in the perfect picture,
and so chases in awed rapture.

Once immature, others have learnt
that what hands can't hold
can be held in the heart
so beauty and butterfly never part.
