the mockingbird and the butterfly ...



he sees himself in the mockingbird

and becomes silent in that realization ...

and wishes he were a butterfly

doesn't have to be a particularly beautiful butterfly ....
all butterflies are beautiful

.... ..

they are delicate dancers
wonders in the wind
...

and are very unheard ...

they bring a lightness to my day
with their frolic-y and simple enjoyment of ....

being

i love to listen to the beautiful calls of the mockingbird ...
all copied
none his own
all from one mouth

but i despise his borrowed beauty
...

i wish ... ..

    butterfly .. . ... .
