Did you see the signs
The big things that you asked
Ignored by above
when you think it was not enough?
The flight that you missed
the wings that did not exist
The lure of the nectar
when you were still a caterpillar
The time you do not hold
as you crawl to find your abode
the leaves that you kissed
when your world is in abyss
The changing of the seasons
As your color resembles the reasons
Suddenly you turn around
as it changes your breeding ground
The sights you were astound
when you discover your wings
and finally found
that flowers are not a dream
but a part of your color scheme
As you hop in and enjoy your flight
you no longer wonder why
everything takes time
because you are now
the colorful butterfly.
