Your
colors are bright
like
a jewel sparkling in the light.
As
I look at you, here on my arm,
I am
reminded of the charm,
I once
had ...a long time ago.
The
remembrance of this, I cherish,
it
seems not so important and varies.
I don't
want to understand you.
Its
the awe of your many colors and hues
that
fascinates my eyes and my heart,
untying
the knots of our connection and apart...
While
loosening the tension and doubt
of
always trying to figure it out.
Your
beauty...as you flutter away,
watching
you like a runaway.
Your
flying is such a wonder,
elusive,
I know,
but
you look so much better.
It
does no good to pin you down,
It
really doesn't matter.
The
butterfly...must be free, will be free.
It
is this feeling...of forgetfulness
that
brings me, into feelings of bliss.
It
leads me deeper into life's treasures
and
such promise of it's pleasures.
The
struggles and occasional lack of hope
seem
not so bad now and is easier to cope.
As
I watch you dart..up..and...down,
I can
see the trail of your natural light.
You
may fly on forever, or all around
but
you are never out of my sight.
The
silence, the peacefullness
I can
not hear anything other
As
it is you that makes me so enamored.
