BUTTERFLY.

Folder: 
NATURE

In field of green where lilies glow

with clover for their bed

a small cocoon lived out its days

till there its wrapping shed.



From this shroud, discarded now,

a creature slow unwound.

It sat a while upon a leaf

surveying all around.



Sunshine shone on tiny wings,

its warm rays gave them strength.

They slowly straightened out until

their beauty spread full length.



Rising from its leafy perch

it danced into the sky,

a flash of red between the trees.

Sweet butterfly goodbye.
