A Kaleidoscope of Butterflies

A single grain of sand set in an hourglass of time Can shift the scales of fate without a reason, without rhyme The world spins more slowly while your heart is racing on And every shallow breath is desperately halcyon. Awash in waves of passion shaded pink and baby blue A mind that's full of nothing and with everything so new Until the pain that cuts so deep you see the reaper loom And know your soul is suddenly as empty as your womb. Endless seconds wishing that the sun would cease to shine And begging God to show Himself, a miracle, a sign Rediscover moon and stars in this endless, blackest night And bring back hues where pale carved stones are blanketing my sight. As quickly as my prayer could form into a conscious thought A most glorious miracle before my eyes is brought. For in that place where laid to rest the offspring of my heart A kaleidoscope of butterflies helped my child to depart.
