" I do not want to live
in a world without butterflies.
Without the intricate eyes and velvety wings,
graceful splashes of color dancing on the breeze.
Airy, delicate keepers of hope.
Metamorphic symbols of change, growth, maturation.

... I do not want this world
without the butterflies.
I could not bear the wailing
of flowers.

--from 'A World Without Butterflies' (a poem) "
