Applause Of Butterflies

Better days 

may be hard to come by

you struggle, you fall

ran, cried, screamed

bruised with all 

the harshness of life

and after all you have labored

the doors remained closed

every day it felt

it's you alone against the world

yet, in spite of it all

your blood is powered

by the vigor of your soul

and in a state of Daniel

in this jungle

one can only hear

peaceful roars

oh such elegance 

the way you carry yourself

adversities may be

never ending

yet, here you are

a blooming flower

in a field of thorns

yielding the fragrance

of a marvelous transition

soon you'll wither

your petals will fall

but the sweetness

of your fruit

will be the lasting flavor

in the mouths of many,

combatting the bitterness

of this world

quiet and still

alas- one can hear

the applause of butterflies

ready to pollinate

even more, larger fields.
