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
