Beautiful Butterfly

Butterfly coming from your dark cocoon,
Darting back and forth under the full moon,
Tasting the nectar of flowers that bloom,
Oh, butterfly dance around the lagoon.
Like the flowers of the field that face doom,
Butterfly, your life will end very soon.
Now the time you have is at high noon.
Like a vapor, you fade in one afternoon.
