Request Line: illustrate my poem?

Request Line: illustrate my poem?

Would one of you more artistically inclined people out there care
to try and illustrate my poem?  I did a little hand sketch on it
that looked something like this, but this is lame.  I'd like it
to be the size of the poem if possible, and although I would like
the same basic form, I am open to other illustrations of the poem =]

poem copyright 1994 sean lambert, a.k.a. forsaken


forsaken
alone, confused
grasping at butterflies

one is caught, held                                |\o/|
yet loneliness remains                    *        |/~\|
still, it is held on hope                  *            .
                                           *             .
hands tire                                  *          . .. .
the butterfly flies              ***        *        .    .   .
it is chased, lost              *****     ***         .  .     .
                                 ***   ***                      .
grasping at butterflies           *****                           .
alone, confused                *****                                .
forsaken                    ***    **
                         ***       **
