What if I saw you
And knew
This a butterfly new unfolding
Painted wings for the very first time
What if I saw you
And tried
To explain what cannot be understood
And all my words become wasted verse
Alight on the petal
Of a lotus
Drink deep the sweet nectar of life
And learn to love
What if I saw you
And felt
Something this beautiful
Can't be real
That something this beautiful
Must be sacred
Should be revered
Will be cherished
Alight in my garden
I'll look after you
