Butterfly Dance

In his arms I lay,
watching a butterfly at play.

It danced gracefully in the summer breeze,
fluttering through the flowers and trees.

With translucent wings dipped in gold,
it floated closer, quite bold.

I raised my hand for it to light upon,
it barely landed and then was gone.

Fluttering back through the flowers and trees,
dancing in the warm summer breeze.
