Do Butterflies Ask Forgiveness?

.
.
While wrapped
In winter’s
Cocoons,
Do butterflies
Mourn for a
Childhood
Of one summer?
.
Do butterflies
Dream of chance
Encounters,
Of true love,
And flights
In future
Spring zephyrs?
.
Do Butterflies
Wish for
Strength?
Do they
Strive to
Control
Each orther
And to predict
The changing
Weather?
.
Where do
Butterflies
Take shelter
During howling
Wild storms?
Do they pray,
Crying,
“Oh save me
Save me” ?
.
Must butterflies
Make obeisance
And offer
Prayers of
Gratitude when
Flowers bloom
And sun
Sparkles on
Morning dew?
.
Do butterflies
Weep, offering
Sacrifice, while
Waiting for
The final dawn?
.
Is the Creator
Pleased with
The beauty
Of butterflies?
Do butterflies
Worry and preen,
Attempting
To be different
And more
Acceptable,
More holy,
More righteous
Than they are?
.
Do butterflies
Wail, asking
Forgiveness
For having
Been created?
