Chasing Butterflies

***************************

Trying to catch a butterfly

***************************

Is like trying to catch a dream

***************************

A dream, with colourful wings

***************************

Watching it fly, flying away

***************************

Like time as a firefly

***************************

Trying to catch a dream 

***************************

A dream, with fluttering wings

***************************

All you know, all you've seen 

***************************

All you love and all your dreams

***************************

Flying away ~ These moments

***************************

These chances, these days 

***************************

Like butterflies in your hands

***************************

Butterflies like Peter Pan

***************************

All these wonderous things

***************************

Tinkerbell, with glittering wings

***************************

Time walking through dreams

***************************

Castles in the sand 

***************************

Butterflies in your hand

***************************

Chasing, beautiful butterflies...

***************************

...Don't let go ~

Sarah, Your feelings on this poem are the same as mine. Chasing our dreams gives us vitality. When one dream is fulfilled or dies, we always create other dreams and chase our beautiful butterflies into eternity. By the way, thank you for your comment of my poem: Of Love There was an inspiration behind it. Dalila
