Hidden among the surrounding flowers
But strangely striking,
Forcing me to take a second glance;
Its vibrant colors like a rainbow
Scattered across its body.
And as he flaps his tissue wings
Preparing for flight,
The butterfly disappears
A beautiful creation fading into the distance.

A single book waits on a dusty shelf
Its cover worn and pages torn
Waiting to be picked among the rest
A masterpiece to be discovered.
The little boy walks by catching a glimpse
And is tempted to read
This beautiful work of art
But continues walking
Forgetting in a single moment.

Both a masterpiece to unfold,
A mysterious creation
Beckoning us to uncover.
What started as a simple caterpillar,
A scratch of words on a napkin,
Has evolved;
Forming a unique entity
With beauty to behold.
If only we were to stop and look
We could truly see
The wings of a page;
A story flying by. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 200 [topic] => 43 [informant] => moir3241 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
