A man isn't truly free enough to fly

"A man isn't truly free enough to fly" watercolor and gouache on 140 lb paper 11" x 15".
After reading Mehran's poem, I got inspired to paint this artwork.
This is the original painting I used for my book "My sad is sadder than yours" to illustrate this poem :
Fluttering butterfly

on a sunny day
a blue fluttering butterfly
decided to spend time with humans
to get to know them better
as she was dancing and flowing
in the air from house to house
she could hear different stories
good ones and bad ones
but in all of them
humans would love to be free
they wished they could fly
while they had been chained
to their made boundaries
so she understood
why humans didn't have wings
she understood
a human isn't truly free enough to fly.
