A Kaleidoscope of Butterflies
The world was once too bright for me.
My eyes would refrain from the colors and the light.
So I took a paintbrush, and painted down the wings,
of a creature so beautiful it was only in my dreams.
I made enough to dim the world outside of my mind.
My head was now just spinning like a kaleidoscope,
of the creatures I’ve only dreamed,
and I decided to name them butterflies
They fly with hope, they fly care, like a star in the darkest part of midnight,
and they left a trail color, too beautiful and bright.
