When Holding A Butterfly

On the nature of Nature

Hold your breath
When you hold a butterfly

For in truth
Tis the butterfly that is holding you

With kaleidoscopic wings
And multifaceted eyes

And an intimate knowledge of Nature
Denied to me and you

Then breathe again,…let out a sigh
Let the creature take flight anew

Yes… you held the butterfly…
Or did the butterfly hold you?

Good thought and an easy, enjoyable read.
I think you're right. The butterfly held us... but, we get to hold it in memory for a very long time.
Well done sir.
