Butterfly

Butterfly

Little Butterfly you came
To guide my way
Sad and sorry you didn't
Come here to stay
Came to me only for
A little while
When I feel you around
Your presence makes me smile
Strange how it is Butterfly
To miss you,
You who I never really knew
When dreams and visions swirl together
I can see your face
How I prayed for just one small embrace
Butterflies, like Angels, are so very hard to hold
But while you beat your wings around me
I will never feel cold
The ancients promise four years only
Until your spirit journey will adjourn
From the time you departed, Butterfly,
I have awaited your return
It is not yet time and already I despair
And I have lost hope
You watch from where you are
How I unnecessarily mope
When I close my eyes I still can feel your heartbeat
This humble heart stays open to you, Butterfly,
Until again we meet.
