Only Then...

When day finds a soulmate within darkest night
and fireflies of flicker recite poetry in flight
when hatred of hearts unite in serenade
as pollution of clouds find hope in promenade
when bells of ole chime symphony of rhyme
and bonds of young lovers can surpass all time
as abandoned weeds become sunflowers of gold
and eclipsed eyes see waterfalls unfold
when heaven appears at the cry of a child's sigh
and tears of anguished memory are scattered dry
when roses of shimmer smiles arise in snow
and in every man's being, dwells a faithful rainbow
when sorrow of spirit seeks solace within view
and people of all nations accept skin of all hue
only then, at nigh, will angels paint the sky
only then, shall we dawn wings of a butterfly
