Butterfly, your wings so thin
Fragile in your teriffic beauty
The touch from another may make your colours fall
But you will be no less beautiful to me
Light, as you land for a while
Your feet making contact with green
A flutter as you stretch and sigh
Then off into the sun
Gentle, the breeze that you fly
Not a storm like the ones I have seen
The world doesn’t haunt you the way it does me
Come with me – let me keep you safe
Gossamer, your delicate heart
Entrusted to me for the spring
Into tomorrow I walk careful
A fleeting love yet so beautiful to see
