like a butterfly

slowly waking up from thefantasy of a dream. my hand searches in vainfor the dream to be a reality
dreams are like a flower only when they bloom,we realize how wonderful it can be!or how horrible its going to be!
i sit upon a dream. patiently waiting for it to bloom. nurtured it for a long time,with all things good!
time, i have spent!love, i have given lots of!hope, i have infused into it!confidence, i have plenty of it!
from a cocoon that i built around myself. i changed into a beautiful little butterfly. waiting to soar into the light of the day. taking my dream along with me!
perched on the flower that is now my dream,i wait for it to bloom. to seal my fate – life or death!


notes:
The life cycle is a butterfly is normally 2 – 4 weeks. Likewise, dreams dont last a lifetime.Before we know it, the dream is long dead!and sometimes(almost all the time) so are we!

We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever. ~Carl Sagan
A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly – Andre Gide
Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. – Nathaniel Hawthorne
