Happiness is like a butterfly<br /> The more you chase it<br /> The more it will elude you<br /> But if you turn your attention to other things<br /> It will come and sit softly on your shoulder. - Henry David Thoreau


As I observed a little worker ant

(Oh how unnoticed was she)

I saw how tremendous her strength was

Carrying twenty times her own weight

And then some!

(So normal yet special)

She had broken off from all the others

And tried to support herself

(So lonely yet energetic)

Dodging rapid raindrops

And voracious predators

(So eager to live)

What an intriguing little creature

My interest and curiosity was piqued

(I saw potential in her)

Unable to see her innermost intricacies

I had acquired a magnifying glass

As I got closer to see

Her most delicate features

I peered through the magnifying glass

In delight

Feeling sorrow for her

(She burnt to a crisp)

I wrote this piece as I was thinking of one of my friends. She's sort of an introvert, aha.
