On a warm spring day I hide myself away,
Only to be called out to the light of nature at play,
Butterfly you know that you create great envy,
You are so very beautiful careless peaceful and free
Your fluttering flight entrances the innocence in me,
You know life's meaning is less if it's not wholly free,
While your life is simple yet no different to the one I lead,
Your pace of life seems slow yet you achieve as much as me,
I know that if you could you would envy the life I see
I get to look at your beauty and you only see me
“There is one thing one has to have: either a soul that is cheerful by nature, or a soul made cheerful by work, love, art, and knowledge.”
Friedrich Nitezsche
Today is a day of great beauty, it surrounds us yet all we do is to take time to explore it and enjoy it. The next time you see a butterfly take a picture of it and share it with a friend...it will make them smile.
