Like a Butterfly

I should spread out my wings 
For the wind to carry me away 
To a far plush paradise 
A safe haven for my dreams 

A place showered by cool rains 
Which means spring and not storm 
A place bathed by the warm sun 
Which means summer and no sweat 

A place where the wild flowers 
Bloom in a colorful display 
A place where the mountains echo 
The secret song in my heart 

A place where the soft lush grass 
Carpets the paths under my feet 
A place where the gorgeous rainbow 
Forms a halo over my head 

Carefree I should be flying 
Artistically I should be dancing 
As I savor the cool fresh air 
Scented with natures fragrance 

See the energy beneath my wings 
Observe the grace in my movements 
Understand the determination within 
And let me out of this cocoon.
