A Sad Butterfly

A colourful butterfly entered gleefully,


My room suddenly,


Not to have a glimpse of it I deemed it right,


As it spread the wings in the joyful flight.


 

Perhaps the wind outside,


Made it find a safe place to hide,


Maybe it was the glow,


Of my room that it was attracted so.


 

Whatever the reason might have been,


I was busy in reading poems and had not seen,


What exactly was going on around,


Until my ears received a sound.


 

Yes it was the sad butterfly,


That like a dreamer flew so high,


Challenging the whirling fan,


Which tore its pride all on a sudden.


 

Oh! The beautiful butterfly,


Was in much pain and tried hard to fly,


For it I felt pity,


And thought that we are mere dolls before destiny.
