The Butterfly

The Butterfly

A butterfly came sat upon my hand in mid July
I stood so still
I couldn't feel
His wings       they moved about
I wondered why he landed there on me instead of         fly
           To fair flowers
With less hours
He knew       there was no doubt
Yet there he was he came to me and I indulged his lie
And then                                                                   he flew
                             In search of dew
                                                          Who knows
             He flits about...
