Butterfly Dream

References to the butterfly dream and "Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto". The Butterfly Dream by the philosopher Zhuang Zhi discusses the issues of reality and existence.

Butterfly Dream

 

everything turns into dust
into white flowers - they blur - no - they fly to that infinity as butterflies
 

everything turning to nothing -
and all i feel is a sharp pain where my heart used to be

I will be the first to admit that this poem isn't highly accessible? Do you agree? Or not?

Like I said in another review i did for you, Short but well done. It really doesn't matter how long, i just love the feeling it gives me, good job.

[Jimmy Greenie]

Short but sweet is all I can say. It seems the person telling this story is obviously in some deep emotional pain or something - probably yet another poem about heartbreak. But there's nothing wrong with not being original! This is a superb poem and you did well to write it, although perhaps a little longer and possibly more complex next time! (i hate to criticise you. I'd like to point out I had no intention to offend you)
