Like a Butterfly
Updated: Aug 28
When that last breath is taken
the air in the room leaves for just a moment
leaving those in its presence
holding their breath
it is at that moment when we are all reminded
how truly fragile and precious life is
Life is much like a butterfly, whose wings, which
are delicate in nature, are powerful, miraculous, and strong
sometimes able to make it through fierce winds
while other times, no longer able to fly, feeling the
wind blowing through the tiny tears in its wings
knowing … the end is near
Life is like that … fierce, strong, fragile, and precious … like a butterfly
