Wings like petals
so gentle as you feel them
never try to hold them
or you'll pull off the scales
that form the wings
so small you never know
you felt them at all

Butterfly's kiss you on the eyes
all they want is water
and maybe to make your dreams work
or try even to talk
in morse code
who knows
please do not try to hit them

Butterflies are fragile
as am i
do not bring us down
it;s all to with scales
balancing trick
do not hurt
are ancestors.
