I saw a
butterfly
once, it's left
wing was
crumpled, tipping
it off-balance
as it crawled
along
the window sill

It's right wing
was still
smooth and
perfect,
gaily coloured in
a pretty
pastel pink -

It looked so
cheerful and delicate,
as it beat
against
the air, the
butterfly
struggling vainly
to lift itself
back into
flight -

And then a
slight
breeze came along,
nearly tumbling
the crippled
butterfly
out into
dangerous wide-open
spaces

But I cupped
my hand
around it's
frail form, protecting
it until the
wind had passed
by in it's
mini-fury.

And I continued
watching it.

You came and stood
beside me, and we
watched together
for a moment,
silent in our
own
personal musings...

Then, suddenly,
you brought your
hand
down on the
butterfly,
smashing it against
the window sill

You kept your hand
over it, just
for a moment, and
then lifted it,
staring at the
crushed form of
the forever-broken
butterfly -

When you looked at me,
you smiled
and shrugged, and said
that it didn't matter, that
the damned thing
might as well have
been dead already,
that you had
done it a
favour -

And you walked
away,
whistling an
almost familiar
tune...

And in that moment,
I
was the
butterfly

A small white that i saw
flying freely but seems nowhere to go
finding a tree is the place to hold
if it gets tired afraid it will fall.

behind its color white means loneliness
it is free but scared of emptiness
the tree is the only option for survival
apparently surrender, is the utmost final.

butterfly sometimes join the crowd
hiding sorrow by fooling around
at the end of the day,it cannot conceal
smiling no more,crying out what it feel.

the small white butterfly is me
someday i know i will be flying free
maybe suffocating but when i look behind
small white butterfly is just in my mind.

little butterfly, pinned to a tray

trying to flee, but can only stay,

little butterfly, heart cold as ice,

listening only to the mice,

little butterfly, with black beady eyes,

as it sits all alone and cries,

little butterfly, blue as the sea,

dieing to get out and be free,

little butterfly, heart full of glee,

being put in boiling tea,

little butterfly, mind corrupted,

and erupted,

little butterfly, being pulled apart,

crying for a new start,

little butterfly,tworn into pieces,

being stuffed into creases,

little butterfly, back for revenge,

its stench makeing you cringe,

little butterfly, with stakes in its hands,

walking slowly towards the man,

little butterfly, standing over him,

driving the stakes into his hands,

little butterfly, making him stay,

pinned to a tray,

molded in some clay,

little butterfly, no longer pinned to a tray,

free as the wind and no longer making him pay..!!

The Fly
Little Fly,
Thy summer's play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.

Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?

For I dance,
And drink, and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.

If thought is life
And strength and breath,
And the want
Of thought is death;

Then am I
A happy fly.
If I live,
Or if I die.

The fuzzy caterpillar
Curled up on a leaf,
Spun her little chrysalis
And then fell fast asleep.
While

she was sleeping
She dreamed that she could fly,
And later when she woke up
She was a butterfly!

That first bright step into the sunshine of life
begins with the opening of the family cocoon.
The caterpillar becomes a butterfly
spreading her wings into the world.

What she is today is but a tiny mirror.
of the transformation that is yet to come.
For with time, love, humor and warmth
She is an everchanging masterpiece.

Whether as wife, mother, career woman or all,
she will find her center of peace.
A place that is hers and hers alone,
the essence of what she is and will be.

Using the instincts that each of us have
to find the good in each other.
to be a caring friend, lover, helper and playmate,
to listen and share, to laugh and to cry.

With loving support of family and friends,
she takes flight down an unknown road towards her future,
like the rising of the sun in the east.
Each day filled with new beginnings.

Finding excitement and challenge at each new turn.
Her flight through life filled with many happy adventures
and memories to put in her book of life,
as the sun moves along that steady path across the sky.

When the sun at last begins to set in the west
and her flight nears its end, she can look back along her path
and know that she has been everything she can be
and has done her very best.
