Butterflies and Grapes

pldabbs



You see the dreaded caterpillar

A violet’s enemy devourer

I see the ensuing butterfly

Whose proboscis sipped the nectar dry

 

The first has vision incomplete

The second has a view that’s sweet

The first’s concern is losing money

The second looks forward to the honey

 

I have a grapevine overgrown

Over the fence and tree it’s flown

“Cut-it-down!” you say; I say “Please save”

For kids it makes a perfect cave 

 

You have a vision of loss and bother

And my eyes vision sees another

There really is no wrong or right

It all depends on the seer’s sight

  • Comment from author about the poem: The poem pretty much explains the message...everybody's outlook in life is different. Each may be correct in their own right. We should try and understand all people's ideas and reactions, and learn to live together in harmony with that.

    Good comment. I remember someone saying that sometimes we have our eyes open but we don't see. I guess it's the same as our ears being open but we don't hear.
