Gossamer

Font Size

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
