THE BUTTERFLY’S JOURNEY

The little butterfly fluttered
From friend to foe
Seeing the rivers run to and fro
Searching for wisdom in his light
From seeing how people loved to fight
Watching loved ones die for nothing
As they fought battles started by dominators
That wanted to run the lives of others
In their day
And watching people succumb
To that way
Instead of listening to what their God did say
From within their temple
In their day
Little butterfly flew so free
He was as he was just to be
Went with the energy of his flow
And wondered why people didn’t know
How to see the light from within their being
It was such sad scenes he was seeing

Until butterfly stopped one day
And saw with wisdom
That what he was seeing
Was within him in his dreaming
And then his vision changed with glory
When he saw people in a new story
He saw them happy with abundance in every way
He saw them smiling
No more poverty, wars or battles came into the play
And he saw all mental illness of dominators drop away
For he had stopped, looked, listened and learned
The wrongs of HIS way

And he started to smile as he realized his journey
And saw the truths of his way
Was all illusion as he came to learn
That he was the captain at the helm of his stern
By what he believed from taking on the stories of others he saw
Even though they were illusions and nothing more
So little butterfly changed his life’s way
From seeing wars to seeing love and beauty around him
In every way

Little butterfly had found some wisdom
That day.
