The Butterfly

by Helena Fernz

Let me play among the flowers
Sway to the music of the wind
Flit from color to color
In gentle, endless grace

I am the butterfly
I know no prison,
And I go where I will,
can't you see?

Don't fence me with reality
I will not conform
Don't bind me with expectations
For that I was not born

Let me perch
on the cornerstone of your heart
And have you admire my wings
For life is fleeting, don't you think?

Today is but one moment
On the graying parchment of time
And I will be gone
Before you know you are mine
