Butterfly as a whisper comes around
for a little child happiness is found,
he sees a colorful art of life.
She stays near the child
not afraid of being burnt
by the desire.
Is it a candle or a child?
Secondly, she will be burned.
Firstly, she will be admired.
She makes him feel the magic
and then she wants to fly away.
A child can't wait
that hours become days
and butterfly returns again.
He will love only for today!
Once she will fly away,
the beauty in his eyes will be lost.
Soon he will learn that
beautiful creatures can't be admired
when they stay under chains.

WELCOME ORIADA ~ Thanks for a beautiful first poem in both structure and subject. BUTTERFLIES are ephemeral and beautiful and unlike many other insects (including caterpillars !) very non threatening to Children. They are drawn "Like a Moth to a Flame" which can spell disaster. Entrapped in a jar or dead with a pin through them they lose their ariel beauty. We have to learn this as children ~ Animals and insects look their best and thrive best in their own ecological niches ! Thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN
