Butterfly Crossroads
An Inspirational Haiku
Prologue
We reach crossroads many times in our lives, and these can be daunting. Adapting to them may even be painful.
But like this little insect, we can rise above them. For all at this stage now, let the butterfly bring you above.

Butterfly stands still
Two roads crossing far below—
Its wings bring above.

Do You have a Support Network?
Life is harder when you’re on your own. Human beings are social creatures, and we usually feel better when we have support from a strong social network around us. For most people, it’s our families that hold us together like glue.

Well done!!
Beautiful words and beautiful picture
We can learn so much from the light beautiful creatures. This was so profoundly true.
Ah, if only it was that easy. Loved your poem!
This is indeed inspirational and very deep, Michelle!
I absolutely love the symbolism and meaning within the layers of your haiku. Butterflies are such an intriguing species, even in their initial states, that they offer up one of the most perfect subject matters ever in nature.
