"Fly Butterfly, Fly" Spirit sad and broken She weeps these tears of pain As the thunder outside roars on Down comes pouring rain Heart a jumbled mess Soul feeling empty with a gaping hole All the lies and deceit Has taken its final toll I watch in silence Not knowing the words to say In silence we sit together Trying our best to find our way Dark gray skies loom from up above Not a single ray of light Tired and weary She no longer wants to fight In her cacoon she hides This pain she can no longer take Empty smiles and laughter No longer can she fake I wrap the cacoon with my love And a simple prayer I say Please dear Lord Make tomorrow a better day I look at her fragility Then notice the silk, woven so fine That's when I believe There is someone up above who is great and devine Right before my very eyes I watch the cacoon unfold The wonder and beauty amazes me The very essence of her soul, in that one moment told The dark clouds break Sunlight streams down A smile replaces her face Where once there was a frown Tears of happiness We now both cry As I softly whisper to my love Fly butterfly, fly [This message has been edited by Aimster (edited 11-30-2000).] |

'Right before my very eyes I watch the cacoon unfold The wonder and beauty amazes me The very essence of her soul, in that one moment told' THIS, my friend, is outstanding! I knew you were a great poet, but this has proven me wrong. You are an extremely talented poet. Yes, you. Mmm hmm. Love this! -e ~~~~~ 'cause I am hanging on every word you say, and, even if you don't want to speak tonight, that's alright, alright with me... |

You all are the greatest. For now just know that...JM you give me the inspiration to soar...Laura, you ARE the wind beneath my wings and Kris you give me the encouragement to go on.
