A Butterfly Poem by Kaga no Chiyo

A Butterfly

Rating: 4.3


A butterfly -
What dream
is making your wings flutter?

Butterfly -
you also get mad
some days.

Even the butterfly -
voiceless
Buddhist service.

In mid-flight
the butterfly returns
to the pines of Shiogoshi Shrine

What the butterfly
wants to say -
only this movement of its wings.
