Butterfly...

by Ruthie   Feb 23, 2006


In it's cocoon
It starts to breathe
knowing that soon
it has to leave

Struggling within
It's prison rips
it sways and rocks
shakes and dips

Finally free
to fly away
never to return
from the light of day

Love tests it's wings
and starts to soar
it's life sometimes fleeting
but never a bore

Without love's color
life would wane and die
almost like my garden
without it's butterfly's...

    Your poem is so deep. It's wonderful to read ones like "butterfly" because it conveys not the exact meaning but the way you used words...you would really have to feel the poem first and then you'd understand...it's so beautifully written. I love it.
