Soaring Butterfly

Karyn Indursky

 

Tiny caterpillar legs wander
around grass to find
fresh, bright green leaves
for nibbling upon.

 

Changes begin happening to
this little creature until
it's not a caterpillar,
but a creature in a cocoon.

 

Wrapped in this cocoon
sprouting wings show adulthood
claiming this transformer
and the rest follows in pursuit.

 

The cocoon perishes
like a groggy dream forgotten
and its place is a
vibrantly colored butterfly.

 

Wings flap into unknown places
while we gaze in awe
at watching our beloved
soaring butterfly.
