Fluttering

Breeze blew My hair about Loving the feel of it On nice sunny & wintery day I chanced upon a butterfly Fluttering about Enjoying it, too From flower to flower It roamed Liking a few scents disliking the others What was drawing it The scent or the colour It drove me thinking Why we were not Designed with wings I miss having them Wish I too could Fly by the nets Holding me back The stresses and cares Now that he's busy In his world And drifted away I'm forced to wish I too could be as carefree As the butterfly Fluttering about.
