Butterfly

Life is like butterfly wings,
Bright and soft but fragile.
Easily wrinkled and torn apart.
Life is just as amazing as butterflies.
So many shape’s and sizes, and when the wings open…
A flash, a rainbow of colours.
Life is like a candle flame too.
Dancing with fickle forms of light.
Beams of light tear through the darkness,
Until a soft breeze lets her die.
But even with wind and with tears in her wings
Life goes on.
Always dancing, fluttering.
And when a butterfly passes,
Everything stills
For a butterfly flying up to the sky.
Always carries a flame.

Author's Comments

Perhaps some of you wonderful artists out there heard about what transpired in the Netherlands 31th april this year. One of the victims was the father of someone we knew.
I wrote this poem as a result and gave it to the family. Please enjoy it.

(strange how my best work comes from the death of people)
