The Flight of the Butterfly For John
Floating in the air
Wavering in the breeze
Butterflies,
land with ease
(in my stomach as I read)....
Such passion,
such beauty
In the summer air
It's all around me
(when you are near ~so on I read)....
distinguishing you
and oh, my heart skips
to the tune
so much different
(with admiration I find
the butterflies.... the beauty) deep inside.....
Velvet, satin,
plain or platinum
Touching the degree
in which you speak to me
(where once upon I time,.... were butterflies).....
Yet I am still a worm,
trying so hard to be
beautiful in your sight
I crawl so willingly
(Yet beauty in distinction)
Free and falling
from the midnight air
into the great unknown
of the atmosphere ~
the flight (metamorphosis) of the butterfly ~
