Fluttering through the storm
Delicate beauty
Amidst a symphony of madness
Lingering sweetly in the sadness

Wings of colors
Never to be seen
By the butterfly
Only those
Who admire it so

Spinning in the black
Falling so slow
On wings of silken touch
Keeping from falling down
Down below

Please
Dear butterfly
Don't you cry
For before you does lie
A beautiful swarm
Of others
Searching for you

Leave them not,
Dear butterfly
For your time
Has not yet reached the end

Butterfly
