Butterflies In My Stomach

Here they go again swirling around in their unpredictable fashion Millions of them all bright and happy! If I had an enormous net I could not catch them all They squirm and wiggle and consume my insides Every single day since I met you in my dreams Who can contain them all? If I could take a camera and snap a photograph I could look at these butterflies more carefully I bet they come in all shapes and sizes and I bet they sing beautiful songs They must because I feel like there is the most extraordinary song playing within me Whenever I think of you Sometimes it’s like a beautiful sonata Other times it’s a jazzy tune Butterflies dancing in an unpredictable fashion It’s always springtime in my stomach Please don’t let this season ever end Written by Gwendolen Rix 11-17-14
