A creature roams the green land.
With time so precious, can never stand.
Hide from what's up in the air,
Reveal yourself only if you dare.
The creature devours all in it's way,
Continuously eating, day by day.
They wonder why and what could be wrong,
Never would have known it made him strong.
Soon, the peculiar creature disappears.
Never leaves home because the fear,
Which others could not recognise,
Isolation seeming best in it's eyes.
After a while, with colours of a kaleidoscope,
And no longer need to walk a tight rope,
Up high among clouds in the sky,
Flutters the beautiful butterfly.
