Butterfly, with dampened wings

Don’t fly far from me

the droplets that weigh you down

Not only magnify the radiance

But yet the subtle strength

in those soft mosaics

The winds of the world may always seem

to blow a turbulent course

But let my breath lift you higher

From my lips an upwind force

Gliding from leaf to leaf

Your conquest is all but inevitable

But to rest on the breast of ones breath

Can bring peace to the worry

Of challenges still left.

So butterfly

Don’t fly far from me

For ones eyes need such beauty

To give a reason to see

And purpose to breathe

Than simple survival

Through the storms of our seasons

Ones flight

Is to the delight

To those on the ground

Blowing in the wind.
