Butterflies Are Free To Fly

Butterflies Are Free To Fly (Written by Josie Parrelli) Sunlight shines through the window pane I look and see my butterfly The one that was wounded not so long ago The beauty of your ray of colours Your sunshine, your love, your beauty Your eternal vibrancy emerging through Through hurt you hid away A muted wing a stunted speech You hid your light away Afraid to fly Looking at the bloom entow Wanting to be that butterfly you have always meant to be You drew your curtains thinking you weren’t deserving of this This life of goodness I knew you would come back To emerge and reach out when you where free When you felt ready to fly Butterflies Are Free To Fly Flying high in the sky like a phoenix rising Never hiding your eternal beauty away Knowing it’s safe to look outside your home I knew you would land we’re you’ve always meant to be I’ve always seen it I’ve loved you so long Life is different when you see things through the pure eyes The pure heart The one of sincerity As you put one foot in front of the other, retracing your steps Learning to fly again You see the sunshine, you see the love, you see the truth Your wing has healed, your heart emerged, your confidence soaring You’ve removed the curtain The wing has healed Your speech strong and concise Speaking in a voice that will always be heard and never abandoned again © Josie Parrelli 2011
