I’ve Looked

I’ve looked at all my earthly bars
And even those that shine as stars
I’ve ground the grape to mull my brain
It only left a blood red stain

It’s only in the wildest wile that
I rise above this prison Isle
But even with the speed of light
I cannot pass the distant night

So now I ride on fireflies
And even mount some butterflies
Catching all the senses breeze
Moving with the dancing leaves

I watch the mile stone of endeavor
Some I‘ve seen are very clever
It helps me stem my hunger pangs
When I’m a vampire with fangs

I do not mean to frighten you
It’s just a symbol of my view

Moving with the dancing leaves


I can see this when I close my eyes,
may you always and forever rise.

passing,
For this reply you can have one free ride on a butterfly.

This is beautiful Seymour, as always. If I wasn't afraid of flying, I would go for a ride on your butterfly.
