The Butterfly Breathes
A butterfly is a heartfelt prayer,
the butterfly is the poison arrow
of a shattered prayer.
A butterfly is the balled fist
of a fragile prayer.
Sometimes a butterfly is
the prayer of a lovely
scarlet rose.
Sometimes the rose is a fervent blazing
prayer.
The withered rose is a fresh climbing rose,
a quite prayer is a deafening prayer,
a dying butterfly is better than
a dying prayer.
