Butterflies



A Butterfly, reminds me of a blue sky.
Changes and at times liquifies.
I wonder if butterflies are terrified of change
As they transform they die, saying goodbye to the old.
Growing soon to unfold, and come from their decaying mold.
Only to fly.
Butterflies can be used to signify.
They are change,
but as humans, we find this strange.
So I wonder are butterflies scared?
Or have they prepared?
