Butterfly

How beautiful you are
You are the master
Of transformation
Bringing on a new life
Bringing joy and 
Inspiration to 
Everyone who sees
You fly in the sky
So ethereal and so free
Flying above the 
Trials of life
Teaching us
What it truly means
To transform and 
To emerge
Completely
Different
Completely 
Beautiful
Shedding 
Our whole 
Selves in the
Process of life
Reaching for
Newer heights
Newer joy
Transforming
From moment
To moment
Living for
Physical death
To be reborn
Into the ethereal
Taking flight
On your wings
Of strength
And of hope
Teaching us
What strength
And transformation
Truly looks like
In such a small
And fragile creature
Fly little butterfly
Fly free on the winds
Of change as you 
Fly into the sky
Ever higher and
More free than
You have ever been

I couldn't have said it better myself. I've always butterflies for their freedom and beauty, and I think you've completely captured those qualities and more.

I agree.
Simply great. I love the symbolism you gave for the butterfly. i also love the idea of metamorphasis, even when it is a overwritten topic.

This is really good Ahmad! The transformation of caterpillar into butterfly is a common theme of course, but you have managed to present it in an unique and refreshing way. You have made it into a transformation of consciousness rather then form. Excellent!
