Butterfly Beauty

A butterfly so graceful

Catches many admirers’ eye
Charmingly fluttering past
The awe struck crowd.
A butterfly rides the wind
Taking only a brief rest
Among the flowers below.
Nature’s welcomed guest.

The butterfly is admired.

Just days before

This enchanting butterfly
Was wrapped customarily
Lackluster and unadorned.
For each butterfly
Must pass through plainness
Locked away from the world
Only to emerge with greatness.

The butterfly is revealed.

So little catapillar

Before you collapse in despair
Feeling so lonely and trivial
Or try to convince yourself
That you are not special
Remember your destiny:
Only time will expose
Your beauty completely.

The butterfly conquers.
