The Butterfly's Journey

In the verdant bosom of our world, where nature shows its plenitude and diversity, a butterfly stands as a symbol of the ephemeral and graceful beauty of existence. Thus, as Camões sang of the voyages and epics of man, let us now sing of the silent and sublime journeys of the small beings that adorn the universe.

Poem

In the vastness of the forest bathed in light,
The butterfly flies, a tiny being,
With the lightness that the air makes perfect,
Subtle beauty in dazzling color.

On the branches, with dewy foliage,
You can see its dance in a chosen gala,
From blue to yellow, the color remade,
In a living picture, a delicate scene.

Hovering in the dawn, it embroiders the day,
In the fields of a thousand flowers, vain colors,
Weaving an air so light that it ecstatic.

Along paths where leaves are sisters,
A trail of light is drawn in joy,
Which the brief life expresses in vain gestures.

Thus, like a butterfly that beautifies the days with its brief passage, our journey on earth is also an ode to ephemerality. May we learn to admire the beauty that surrounds us and find meaning in the small wonders of nature. May our existence be, like the butterfly, full of color, elegance and harmony.
