I am now a butterfly

As she drinks nectar from a flower, sweetness from heaven falls like dew anointed with a gentle rain amidst sun showers she appears as if on cue Lifting her wings she lands on a Zinnia beneath a tinted sky of April blue flight of fancy fanning fast, fabulous marvel, she is beauty true on true Pheromones fill the air as the males call the females to their abode their abdomens linked tail-to-tail, and on the damsels' eggs the male seed are sowed From thereon, dull caterpillars slowly transformed into exquisite beauties then, to a new hope, many newborns flew, making gardens filled with cuties She then whispered that before brightness, there was a very dark darkness~ so don’t give up on your life just because your present swims in starkness "Learn from my life cycle," she further said, "beauties that once were can still be so your belief in sunshine after this raging storm is paramount and key" From then on, she became me, and I became her, and hope of a better tomorrow fills me far from me, fear then fled—I face my problems with glee, from hopelessness my life is free
