Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Better Perspective

I was in a state of despair.

All life around looked oh so bleak.

Just sadness I saw everywhere.

Glimmer of hope I longed to peek

Sorrowful soul walking I did be,

In dead of winter dark at night.

Then a butterfly flew to me,

Perched on my cheek with such insight

Into life's ways, how I would cope,

Suddenly seeing life through

The lens of a gift of new hope.

From my cheek the butterfly flew.

Life is more beautiful when I

Look through wings of a butterfly.
