butterfly flies and dies

The butterfly flies and dies
falls and disintegrates
smaller insects feast and eliminate
earth is rejuvenated
plants flourish and provide food
we eat, we procreate,
we die, after the butterfly
wheels within wheels
death but an arbitrary point
life is immortal
we but carriers

:- Doug.
