Butterfly
Butterfly
Envy eats you
as I flutter by
all eyes on me
It is hard for me
to pay you heed
when I fly in mid-air
You try to pick me
from the sky
smash me in your palm
But I'm too far
above you
for you to reach
My sparkles
spill from my wings
igniting the earth
Build a stairway
to the moon
one step at a time
Then gaze down
and see me
a mere insect
