What life does
A butterfly see
Pretty black
Fleeting eyes
Butterfly vision
Unquenched love
For flower's colored vista
Though I expect
They often think
They are solely
Living a short life
Only eating and pooping
Defined as
Caterpillar forever
Or, does their mind
Metamorph also
Now, it's little brain
Like the angel's
Holds thought to fly
Released to drift free
Astonished to rise
Chasing flower's nectar
Until too dark to see
Or bloom unrevealed
Anyway, as it is
Seen by you and me
A soaring glory
Of handiwork divine
Absolutely
A life sublimed
