Lost in my dissociative unrealistic world

0 posted 2005-03-24 08:46 PM



The butterfly came out of her cocoon
only to find she was viewing the moon
She asked herself, "Where is the sunshine?"
What has she walked herself into this time?

Hiding in the corner by the old oak tree
She sat and thought about what it could be
She felt it was either die or be doomed
Finally she chose the latter of the two

Night turned to light at the crack of dawn
She peered over her shoulder at what seemed like the sun
Over the mountain the sun began to shine
The little butterfly knew she'd be fine

Dancing and prancing and jumping with glee
At last she felt lively and free
Happiness being the only emotion she felt
Was a wonderful ending considering the beginning she'd been dealt.

By,
PoetOfDarkness

And thus this could have been called "The Meaning of Life". Very well written verses of hope.
There's always something more about poems (and poets) that use the butterfly. Great job!

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere
