Ephemeral Guest
In an old abandoned house
On a sunny day
A colorful butterfly strayed.
With wings of rainbow
It fluttered through shadows,
Danced in the dim, misty air,
For a short time,
Twirling and swirling.
Past creaking floors
And cobweb veils so fine,
It explored the silence,
A gleam so fine.
But soon as the wild winds
Called it back outside
Through the cracked window.
It flew away
leaving the old house.
