Have you ever seen a butterfly in a cage?

She will not beat the bars

Or beg for her release

Instead she will sit silently

With wings barely moving

Until all her colors fade away

And there is one less beautiful thing

Living in our world......

Thank you

"Man, do you think yours is the only soul? Look around you. Everything that you see quivers with being. Though your thoughts are free, one thing you do not think about: the whole. Beasts have a mind; respect it. Flowers too- look at one. Nature brought forth each petal. There is a mystery that sleeps in metal. Everything feels, and has power over you". ~Gerard de Nerval
