The Butterfly's Song

​Fluttering
Flapping
Floating
I move through the world
From flower to flower
Drinking for my being
Spreading the seed of others
Symbiotic
Am I selfish to choose?
The sea of colors and aromas
Competing for my special kiss
Natural selection some call it
May the fittest survive
Many flock to my garden
Longing to see
 My intricate wings spread wide
But I choose
 To pass no such judgment
For I am not
 As I once was
Now will I always be
 As I am now
Just as the essence of the caterpillar never dies
The majesty of the butterfly is fleeting
May you see and accept me
 For my true colors
A living metamorphosis
With change my companion
And love
My life
