Out of my egg…
The sun’s light beaming upon my crystalline wings.
The Water droplets upon my soft, lustrous, Green body.
As I open my beady eyes, the scintillating water reflects my mask.
Fluttering away as i begin one day.
Blossoming Flora and rain trickling from above.
I scurry underneath a colourful Autumn leaf, and rest in tranquility.
My tails curled restlessly around my meager body.
I stare in astonishment at the prodigious, though beautiful rainbow.
Mayflies accompanying...
Duplicates of me fly around the place heartily.
The bright beaming sun of which once Beamed at me,
nonchalantly came declining before my beady eyes.
Arose a dark Sky, And I felt more alive!
Back to the water, of which my day had begun,
I restlessly sit in the stillness of Night.
As I lay new Life, my life begins to die.
Running out of energy, I sink and blandly close my beady eyes.
One Day...
