I read your words with care
bringing them in to me
there hope, pain and salvation
allowed small glimpses of your soul to see.
Of this I say to you
pray quick and do not cease,
for answers come to those who dance
among the avenues of hypocracy.
Of wishfull trances that we endure
to see the lillies bloom again,
not the devils that grasp at cures
which bring us down to them.
Hold fast those tears streaming down
covet them like precious pearls,
each one emplores a memory of you
that this life could bring you your world.
And wander closely to the edge peace
to stare at those who rage for it,
smile gently for hearts in pain
as you send sweet kisses of hope,
            from your butterfly wings.

Michael-This is a beautiful rendering of YOUR heart and such a wonderful tribute in celebration of the MOST BEAUTIFUL butterfly that has ever graced the heavens.  I personally thank you for seeing the beauty and heart of my friend and you gotta know that this one goes in my library.

Michael*
I'm so touched that you would be moved to write a poem for me....what a beautiful piece...and no that's not JUST because I'm biased... The flow of this was excellent and to evoke such poetry from you through mine...I'm without words to express what I feel besides deeply touched.  This is an honor...thank you Michael from the bottom of my heart...and to your message in the poem...I will~
