I saw a butterfly by my window , saw it fly
It asked me " would you like to try some ambrosia
before I leave and say good bye"
I couldn't say , neither no nor could decline
Afraid of flux of journey ,was tired
Still I inclined , looked into its eyes
Looked at the assurance in that smile
It winked at me and said " You are right ,
I understand your fear , and that is justified
But if you gave me one chance , I would
share a secret before I say good bye "
In wane I tried to ignore its advice
My thumping heart gave in ,
Couldn't hide the curiosity in my eyes
My inquisitive mind told me , " No harm if you give an ear,
hear it out , before its too late , before it flies away "
before I could say " You are my last resort "
say " Whats on your mind "
It poured some nectar on my ears
That appeared like chimes from heaven
Brightened up my eyes
It told me " your journey is a delineation of skies
Your attempt to change the course will remain futile
Live for the day , let the past remain in grave
Nor think of tomorrow
What is forsaken will not come to you
No matter how hard you try "
And left before I could say good bye !
