In the Garden

Goodbye secret butterfly My heart has learned to say farewell to love’s foregone Your time has come for the moment Too intensely peering past your wings That in fear you fluttered off But my secret stays with me You will always have my love in play So lingering in the garden Hoping, wishing in your winged might Give this broken heart that pardon I made it through alive, no need for flight Good riddance to the past that scared you pray And I know your wings are but a glance away
