I wish I could alight with you
Upon a flower and sip the dew
And every day just watch the dawn
And drift around in fields of corn
Your painted emblems shining bright
Your charming shape
Your lazy flight
Dry your spirit in the sun
And when your glorious days are done
Now fading when the summers cry
And autumn’s clouds fill up the sky
Perhaps you’ll whisper far above
And that great hand commanding love
Will grant a wish that when I die
I’ll come back as a Butterfly

Jon, this is exquisite...
absolutely graceful
in its serene peaceful flow...
lovely imagery
wonderful writing sir



There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
