Dear Butterfly thank you for existing
For filling my life with hope and joy
Where do you come from undulating?
Gently fluttering with no apparent toil?
Life was grey memories dull future bleak
Drifted in with you a rainbow of colours
On wings of iridiscence and imagination
And took away my grind groans and grunts.
Days are now a stream of joyous escapade
You fill it with movement and luminiscence
But when with wings fluttering you levitate
I fear with you will fly away my happiness.
Does it never cross your mind, Oh butterfly?
Life isn't simply sun nectar and flower hedge
Nature is harsh and always takes its price
Pain infirmity death is just around the edge?
But of course!! Convoluted and contorted
Your body has survived the eternal test
In internal habitats varied beyond compare
Metamorphosed you triumph over the rest.
Vibgyor survivor is an epitome of endurance.
Traversing from inert mass to wondrous worm
You've seen and felt it all in only a single life-span
having escaped the deadly trap of the cocoon.
You've taught me the best lesson of life
Contentment isn't transient sensorial delight
We're travellers upon an eternal path
To learn how to end hunger, pain and strife
Life is to sway in motion, along points on a line
Delight simply in existence and nothing else
To harm no one, utter no sound, make no demands
Then silently depart the earthly jurisprudence.
You're my Monarch, a Jezebel, my Painted Lady
My Viceroy, Admiral, Tiger and so much more
But most of all, you're my treasure trove
of freedom, love, beauty and so much more.
