Poetry: Butterflies

Butterfly so lonely
Born in a bland sack
No one notices her
Yet inner beauty doesn't lack

All's quiet and lonely
Inside her dark shell
Tries to show the outside
But it's up for time to tell

Biding all the days
In darkness so serene
She desires for some light
And wishes to be seen

Adversity is tough
Dormant until it's time
Caterpillar transforms
To become a butterfly

Birthed gently and unnoticed
Wrapped up snug and tight
The day came when she blossomed
And suddenly took flight

Bright colored wings
Gently floats across the sky
So vibrant and so free
This majestic butterfly


Soar above the treetops
In soft fluttering flight
Underneath the clouds
She is a wondrous sight

Fine-looking butterfly
Emerges to show all
How beauty lurks deep within
From sack to flying tall

Underneath is what matters
Not just the outer guise
Beauty comes from the inside
Proved the butterfly's disguise.
