This is a great metaphorical work. It held my attention; very innovative and very imaginative as well, a good thing. My fave line "Elusive butterfly drawn to sugar only to dance at the devil's fire by night..."

It's true that mankind is, to a large degree completely and utterly different to God and its only by renewal that we have any connection, it says tat we are made in the image of God but separated by sin, and even when we're renewed in God, that we can only be slowly moulded by Him to be like Him! Excellently written, well composed, it flows nicely! Well done, blessings, Roy.

I like the list of words in the first line and then the second line states they are foreign to the butterfly's world. Strong images and emotions comes forth. I also like the ending line in which the butterfly finds fresh victims,again an image one does not think of when viewing butterflies. I also like the prose/poetic form of your words.

The identity of the butterfly seems satanic for some reason (the image used). I get the sense that the butterfly is alluring and provides a distraction that is quickly abandoned and leaves the ones who follow its flight far from where they ought to be. Interesting.

Elusive is right...I'm a little confused because I was prepared to read a script with characters, setting, etc. and all the elements of a script.
I say elusive because aside from that I found myself saying, "Yeah, I guess that's right." Not everyone may equate butterflies with beauty as you make your point that the one who flew so high and close to the fire showed another evil side. All in all the visuals and comparisons were well written with bold, vivid language. Just don't understand where the script came in..

I don't understand why you labeled this is script. No characters, dialogue, or setting among other things. Butterfly seems to be a metaphor hope or perhaps blind faith. Then again, it could be Death.

This poem captures the true essence of one's soul. To be caught in sin or despair and only to confront your fears
Metaphoric statement with a twist: Elusive butterfly drawn to sugar only to dance at the devil's fire by night
*I find it hard to see Heaven and Hell categorized in the same statement abounding in grace.{but each to his own}
