Flower and Butterfly (Poem)

 I do not dare doubt the beautiful butterfly 
For its beauty is not its only trait 
Its wings bring it high into the sky 
A vivid personality never needing a clean slate 

Usually the butterfly is enchanted by the flower
In this case the flower is enchanted by the butterfly 
The flower can be a silent beauty
But the butterfly sways and sings its beautiful melody 

This is what captures the flower 

One day  the butterfly takes notice in the flower 
It makes its way over... 
But the flower notices it has not been its merry self lately 
The butterfly falls... 

One of its vibrant side wings has fallen 
The flowers dew drop tear falls 
The flower calls, but it is a silent beauty
The butterfly does not hear it calling 

The flower reaches out its roots.. 
The roots enclose upon the butterfly.. 
As the butterfly rebirths the flower scoots the butterfly closer
They are finally together the flower and the butterfly 

Together they sing on the musical score in the night sky
