The Decree Of Nature! Poem by Ramesh T A

Colourful flower with unique fragrance smiles bright;
Flying flower hops on flowers with colourful attire ever!
It is a flower or fly that files ever before it dies sure?
Yes, it is indeed none other than butterfly we all love!

A photo of a friend shows a butterfly lying with a dead leaf;
Moving as a caterpillar for sometime, sleeps for sometime in
A cocoon before it becomes a flying insect this butterfly is;
Butterfly flies while living, but leaf flies, when it dies!

All beautiful beings like butterflies and birds fly, while they
Are living a beautiful life in the world till they fall dead;
Like the leaf man also lives sans flying, but after death, all
Souls fly high leaving behind the corporeal body some day sure!

It is the decree of Nature that makes some to fly in freedom,
But makes many not to fly ever till death makes soul to fly!
