Surrounding by celestial bliss,
Down from life's abyss,
Rises the Golden butterfly;
Shimmering in the light of Eternity.
Brimming with Life abound,
Its slender wings leave the ground,
Silently but surely it lifts its head;
Spreading hope all around.
Dreams,so vivid and coloured,
Where troubles are devoured,
Vision vibrant with multi hues;
Golden prism giving light undiminished.
Shifting from one flower to another,
Without a worry or bother,
Sucking the heavenly honey;
From flowers dotted with dew.
Savouring the unseen pleasantness,
Relishing the freedom for the harness,
Worrying about nothing;
And living life to its fullest.
Oh!Life is so complete for it,
Without a spare minute,
The butterfly rejoiced for it cared about nothing;
Days so full,not to worry.
The butterfly few around,
With not a thought about the ant and grasshopper.
Thinking nothing's better,
Oh!So unthinking!
As it goes finally to rest,
It realises so many;
Unfinished hues.
Not to resent now,
For the butterfly is but your soul,
So wake up and look around,
(Without a smirk);
As tomorrow never comes.

A beautiful write you have here. So gentle and delicate are butterflies and the soul too is much like butterfly wings, so fragile are we if we do not nuture our own souls and seek the butterfly flight. Besutiful write. best wishes and

As for the poem,it's a very very good piece....I would say,your best till now It was really creative to compare the butterfly to the soul.What really appealed to me here was the imagery filled description.....you've 'wowed' me,Porchi!
