The butterfly is a budding leaf
Waiting to emerge
Ready to bloom
Keen to be free
The butterfly is a green leaf
Full of life and elegance
Dancing and flickering
Showing off its vibrant colors
The butterfly is a falling leaf
Drifting far away
Waiting for the snow
For when frost turns the ground to white
The butterfly will say goodbye.
