The Butterfly
September 12, 2012
Toward the little circle
The patch of bare grass
Where I sat to rest
On my long, long journey
Through the field.
The butterfly flutters
Softly, silently, to my hand
As though afraid I will hurt it.
But I am too in awe
Of the beautiful creature.
It rests on my hand
Just as I rest in the grass
And I can’t help but wonder,
Where is it headed?
Will it make it?
Then a bird above me
Scares it into flight.
I jump up, startled,
To find the butterfly,
But he is gone.

I want to be a butterfly now. p.s. check out my dialogue "Morning" in the scripts+plays section and please comment. In mood I find it similar to this piece, so if you like this, you'lll like "Morning" too.
