The energy of love

A butterfly emerges with satin wings
It spends 3 years
Meandering to the crown of the tree.

With twirly eyelash, it parks on the upmost branch
And aches for a companion
But being fragile makes it strong.

It sees a wallowing ostrich
Who chokes on a strawberry
So It ballets in quantum dance.

The ostrich giggles in delight
And it coughs up the strawberry
The butterfly flutters away

On the tree it aches
But it hears an old woman weeping
So it parks on her nose.

The butterfly sees the orchids wilting
So it gathers the woman's teardrops
And bundles the flower with these tears.

The butterfly spends years in solitude
And on its final breath
It smiles and says thank you.
