Small in a large way

15 May 2004

Anglaran
Could a butterfly cope
if it were self-aware?
if it knew its scope
would it care?
Could a sane butterfly exist
if it knew that its time
is a mere wisp
between the sands, so fine.
Would it still fly
if it knew the breadth,
the vastness of the skies?
How small is its worth
only flowers would mourn
and soon Man would miss
the riot of colour in fields no more.
Larger than his
body is this task,
almost the butterfly's only care,
the reason that he is there.
