Tale Of A Blue Butterfly Poem by Lily Law

Tale Of A Blue Butterfly

Rating: 5.0


Long, long ago,
There was a tale of a blue butterfly,
That live in a silvery cage,
Up at the cold attic,
Silhouetted against the wall,
Surrounded by eerie silent,
Lost in the unknown time.

It flapped its wings hopelessly,
Around the dusty cage,
Its magnificent colour getting paler and fader,
Under the screened window,
And its spirit slipped away,
Inch by inch into the thin air.

But I do not know,
The ending of this tale,
And only the blue butterfly,
And HE who know it to the very end.

don't we, as people, also fade if we are left to wither inside a cold attic without anybody to see our beauty....great piece.

The blue butterfly is waiting for a way out. We too were like that, waiting to be out. now our dreams have cometrue. We have found our way to outer space.
