Reena’s Exploration Challenge #113- Chasing Butterflies

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #113

Ah, those famous men! 

imagine balancing

status and egos in one hand

butterfly net in another

eyes full of childlike gleam 

heart full of passion

exotic butterflies

flying around

as if teasing them

to follow 

deliriously their dream

their jobs they forgot

cared not for critics

as this was their vocation

did they feel guilty

trapping butterflies

pinning them alive

and preserve for

just gratification

chasing Butterflies

understandable, if

for appreciating the skill of the creator, or

collecting for scientific reasons

for biodiversity

and conservation

otherwise

chase as sport

admire their beauty

but let them fly freely around

making the world beautiful

with their

stunning beauty
