Free To Go

Fragile as a butterfly
That lands in your palm
The glittering of color
A beauty so calm
Claiming a rest 
The trust of your care
Keeping a freedom
To spread wings in air
Desperate for warmth
Your heart staying open
Closing a fist
It's soul will be broken
Caring enough
To keep open hands
Waiting and watching
As love only can
