Butterflies Know

Butterflies know the meaning of life upon transformation
They flit, flutter, and dazzle the flowers into their confidence
You have that way about you, listening with your full heart
Knowing I need a sounding board but silence not suggestion

Like luna moth,
You are my listening man
My happily forever after 
The one who understands
My need for silence 

Dragonflies incorporate the gift of silence into twilight
They appear in spirit form, giving me a gentle boost 
You have that way about you, loving me in spite of my frailties
Ignoring the way I sometimes misspeak or mistreat you

Like luna moth,
You are my listening man
My happily forever after 
The one who understands
My need for silence
