And I ponder which would be more wonderful
being a pretty butterfly admiring flowers
for a Short Time and Flying so wild and free
to Many Lovely Gardens..
or I wonder, living for Long Time amidst nature
as a lovely tree amongst flowers
perhaps a pink blossom mimosa tree so pretty
always in the Same Location..

Great question and beautifully posed. I've always admired both characters in the poem; trees and butterflies. Trees for their straightforwardness and seeming stoicism, their longevity and durability. Butterflies for their innate beauty, incredible persistent and vast migration on such small wings, their element of transformation, and their accompaniment of flower gardens and other things of beauty. I don't know as if I could pick one over the other. Great write
