The Dying Butterfly

The Dying Butterfly

Painting and Poem by Dr Abe V Rotor


Dying Butterfly in Acrylic (28" x 18") 2011

Don't die - oh butterfly!
Rage, rage before the night,
at the trees bare in spring,
and the birds out of sight.

Don’t die - oh, butterfly!
Rage, rage to your last breathe;
and never let the fallen leaves
your bed and your wreath.

Don’t die – oh, butterfly!
Rage, rage at a garden robbed
of your beauty and duty
and your love of God.~
