Do Butterflies Know

5/20/2022

Do butterflies know how beautiful they are?
When they flaunt their colors up in the air
When they dance, float, fly
Do they know -
How us mere humans see them?
How envious we are of their freedom?
How curious we are of their lightness?
Nothing weighs on those fairies
It seems
Nothing sticks
And hurts
And troubles
Their little fragile hearts.

To be a human
is to wonder
What it is like to be
a butterfly.

In April 2020, while experiencing her first ever global pandemic, Tamar Pelzig pledged to write something every day, even if it's only a word, so she welcomed to the world a daily blog to keep her creative writing wheels rolling.

What evolved is a collection of short stories, poems, life lessons, blurbs and even a play or two.

If you find her lil' life lessons and imaginative storytelling enjoyable or useful - please comment and share!
