Ever see a butterfly hit the water and you can’t save it? - Butterfly’s Demise I’ve watched the placid water It’s calm, peaceful and dead The smoothness of forever My eyes have often read A deceptive sense of calm Drawing a face close in With a want to pierce its veil To feel it on your skin It’s then I notice motion The flaps of faltered strength Wings of paper flail then fail Short falling safety’s length Quiet is brought to motion Ripples roll and expand Pin-like legs stab to survive Though demise is what’s planned Silent cries in violent death Echoing in my mind The struggled breaths now denied Nature’s eye is turned blind The beautiful has fallen Calmness resumes its turn Life snuffed out without a splash That’s a lesson to learn - #yellowpenguinpoetrynyc #poets #dortooursouls #writerscommunity #theoracleschoice #equindragon #horsewyrm #capecoral #fortmyers #lehighacres #globalwordsmiths #veinheartartisans #inkinnovators #madpropslive #poetrypunch #savantpoetry #evepoetrygroup (at Rack'em Spirits & Times) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHW8YyglVmk/?igshid=qouq6jna3fj8
