Butterfly Dreams

I look through my prism Still I can not see All of your vibrant colours I wish for the beauty of a sunrise To see the brilliance of flowers blooming Bright blue sky and emerald waters The colours of fall leaves I want a rainbow symphony To hear and see your complete majesty For my eyes to dance with your flitting wings The magnificence of you is isolated behind a wall of dark grey A protective layer of granite Cold to the touch Unyielding I chip searching for cracks I tap out a cryptic message Hoping you will understand You guide me to the entry way past the sentinels Down the corridors To your banquet hall Where now I celebrate Marvel at the brilliance of you I see I hear I feel Each colourful note My prism had been inadequate to the task Your wings spread across my imagination Oh so many vivid colours Colours a rainbow can't possibly articulate Other butterflies would look anemic next to your splendour Diamonds would lack clarity and brilliance As I gaze at your form I try to comprehend the magnificence of you I marvel at perfection You light upon my shoulder and give me butterfly kisses My heart is overjoyed for in that moment I have a glimpse of paradise!
