David Brown Poet Free verse

Like Butterflies

Watching a world that seems 
alien, now through his old eyes
He sees them in their beauty 
and innocence, running, smiling
As if this was an adventure;
a harmless fantasy of youth
They pass through the gates 
of security to a world, without

Like butterflies, he said
flying off to nowhere
