Daintily moving along a leaf, its cylindrical body exuding grace
The caterpillar gently wiggles by; strong in mind, slow in pace
Growing in size, fulfilling its directive, it lives on only to eat
Breathing holes and warning colors, its survival is no small feat
Much like us in life, it holds onto an anchor
Plant and creature blend into one, flourishing together without rancor
The chrysalis transforms within, patient in its wait
Metamorphosis or miracle, science and faith continue to debate
As the first cracks appear, the casing splits
Climbs out the butterfly, in all its glory and glitz
The struggle's not over, its hollow body still frail
Eventually it expands, the exquisite beauty unveils
A story of perseverance and growth, a story divine
The Universe educates us from this intricate design
Hope reigns supreme; unceasingly you transform
Fly farther, you marvel of nature; come rain or thunderstorm
