Butterfly Flies Away

Butterfly as a whisper comes around 
for a little child happiness is found, 
he sees a colorful art of life. 
She stays near the child 
not afraid of being burnt 
by the desire. 
Is it a candle or a child? 
Secondly, she will be burned. 
Firstly, she will be admired. 
She makes him feel the magic 
and then she wants to fly away. 
A child can't wait 
that hours become days 
and butterfly returns again. 
He will love only for today! 
Once she will fly away, 
the beauty in his eyes will be lost. 
Soon he will learn that 
beautiful creatures can't be admired 
when they stay under chains.
