PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We can learn so much from nature...

from the sand

the sea

the sky...

Every organism can be our teacher

Take, perchance, the butterfly.

True, they are fragile creatures...

their wings are delicate and thin...

but they add color to the universe

and they can ride upon the wind.

Butterflies share the flowers.

All are rich,

no one is poor,

and you never see a butterfly with a weapon

or marching off to war.

They live a life that’s innocent and free,

they cause no pain or grief

For they know their time is precious...

their moment on Earth is brief.

Perhaps if we listened to their teachings

and their lessons we’d apply

Then we would live in peace and beauty

just like the butterfly.
