Butterfly Wings

Butterfly wings you sit and wait for the sunrise painting pictures on the walls of your wounded heart sitting by the window writing words on the frosted pane hoping that they'd come to life and wash your failures away you sit and wait for the firelight sad thoughts dancing like the shadows of a flame sitting by the bedside knees to the ground throwing prays down your wishing well you fly on butterfly wings looking over mountain tops for that everlasting love

if I could write like you Andrew I would. Thank you for the lovely flight on butterfly wings. One day you have to tell me what inspires the love dose in your poems. Is it for a certain someone? The imagery is perfect. HUGS ~SKAT
