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
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
