Your metamorphosis sleep is ended <br />Break out of your cocoon, so slow <br />Spread your bright-colored, delicate wings <br />Fly into the gentle winds that blow <br />This magical insect, reborn in beauty. <br />Fluttering here, there and everywhere <br />Feasting on nectar, the blossom gave <br />Sucking into your delicate feeding tube <br />The sweet substance you so crave <br />This magical insect, reborn in beauty <br />As transient as the clouds above <br />Traveling far and wide, in flight <br />Meandering to the mountain top <br />Using your own fragile might <br />This magical insect, reborn in beauty. <br />Watch the butterfly and remember <br />Your vulnerability and fragileness <br />We are not insignificant insects <br />Oh! Mortals of short-lived existence <br />Ye, can be reborn in beauty too.<br /><br />Nancy D Warnick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/watch-the-butterfly/
