Dead Butterflies

Lifeless butterflies, dead and dry, rest in their perpetual state upon a lovely journal that has yet to have its virgin pages marked with the scratching of a barely legible hand.

Dead yet beautiful are the butterflies.

Promising but empty is the journal.

Thoughts can be as fragile as the wings of a dead and dry butterfly.  Words can be as empty as a journal with virgin pages. Life is a series of events caught in fragments of time.

Are we paying attention to them?  Or are they fluttering by in a world preoccupied with lifeless and empty things?
