Butterflies and Silver Seas

Jump into pistachio talc and fly on mists a'sparkle Dripping off me is butterfly dust Stand up and you can follow Dive off the chair you sit in to streams filled thick with cider Nap on webs of candied cotton strung strong by the sugar spider Open your eyes under water Catch up with me high in flight Tether your wings to the sea horse's daughter as she swims in the moon beams at nights Sullied clouds fall past the ocean sleeping on silver tide's arm Drowsy me now from this butterfly potion sleeping in ribbons and lavender charm Imagine the ocean alive with flutters of wings on the tide Strip all your preconceived notions and watch with your eyes open wide Glisten in green innuendos Sparkle and shake out your wings I'm a whisper of water, a glint of delight taking flight on the brink of impossible things...
