In view of an eclipse
a tiger swallow lands
captured by the dew drops
following rules obeying commands
bittersweet, heavy hearted
prisoner of the rain
traveling with the wind
flowers rioting in tear stains
locked up in history
convicted of being
born in your own time
without conscience of meaning
tears through the windows
singing a sad song
even the butterfly knows
sometimes the rules are wrong

Can't believe it is a painting. Not only the butterfly is so lifelike, but also, it knows the rules are wrong. How can you beat that.
