Aren’t We All Butterflies?

I know
you’re scared

In contrast
to the vibrant colors
of your heart

Though,
many questions asked

Yet,
a few answers supplied
to the echoes of your curiosity

Aren’t we all butterflies?

Not fully aware
of our time

Or of our
constituents

Or what
makes us perfect
and beautiful

Until
death kisses us.

See those butterflies?

They can’t see
their wings

Nor do they know
how beautiful they are

Or
the vast array of beauties
they have helped created
and nurtured in nature

Yes,
they haven’t realized
how their delicate body
that’s made of thin lines

And
how their fragile curves
have
fitted them for such vibrant colors

Or
how their daylight dances
have
placed broad smiles
on our faces.

Aren’t we all butterflies?

And just like
those butterflies

I see
the thin lines
on your skin

And the vibrant colors
of
your heart

You are
that butterfly

Hatched out
of its cocoon

Amazed
by its newfound form

Staring towards the sky

And for
what it’s worth

Delight
in your
nurtured attributes

Live
in this sunshine

Fly
and perch at intervals

But amplify
your momentum

So step out
of the shadows

Spread out your wings

And gracefully
display your beauty!
