Butterfly Freedom © 2016
"Butterflies are free...
Free to be beautiful, as they fly on wings of stained glass art...shapes, colors and patterns that deny their caterpillar start.
Free to be lighter than air, as they fly to nature's every blooming flower...seeking only the sustenance to exist for yet another hour.
Free to just be, as they fly silently, fluttering and ever so gentle...moving through the sunlight like something transcendental.
Yes indeed, butterflies are free."
- 1st Man
You wrote that? What a lovely poem for lovely butterflies!
ReplyDeleteyep ,thanks for that!!
Deletei hate butterflies! i don't know what it is about me but those little bastards attack me when i am outside. every since i was a little kid you can find me running hysterically from butterfly attacks. they are nasty little bugs with nice coats. i must smell like a flower.
ReplyDeleteMy friend is the same with birds.
DeleteHate butterflies? I didn't no that was an actual thing, ha. There is a butterfly place here in Houston that raises them and they fly around inside. It would NOT be a place for you to visit, ha.
DeleteNow I have heard of bird fears too.
DeleteWow, that's really good. I like it. - Brenda

Deletewhat a beautiful poem and soo appropriate for us as we saw our first butterfly yesterday. i have a notebook that i used to get my friends to write something to me - kinda like an autograph book. my best friend at the time wrote "we all start out as caterpillars but you ain't getting me up in that thing" - bahahahah! your poem is very beautiful....maybe you should start "poem tuesday".

ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
DeleteButterflies SHOULD indeed be free. Cases of pinned butterflies make my feel sad and unwell.
ReplyDeleteLove your poem.
Yes, I mean, I love the beauty of seeing them up close like that but you are right, there is something sad about that. Their lives are already so short-lived.
DeleteBeautiful photos and great poem.
