The Dewdrops and the Butterfly

Lakshmi Menon posted under PenMuse-36 Poetry on 2021-12-16



One morning shrouded in mist The clouds gathered for a tryst Dewdrops seeking frolic and fun Descended long before the sun Waking birds and bees, they pranced along Humming and dancing on Nature’s song They greeted a worm with sorrow profound “Why are you dismal? In misery drowned?” “The world is beauteous, colorful, and hued, In contrast, I am hideous, so I brood.” “Don’t let your belief shatter, Appearances don’t matter.” “You’ll become your best in your prime, Focus on your strengths; it takes time.” The worm cocooned, the drops bid goodbye, “We’ll see you soon as a butterfly.”
