I kneel before you, butterfly
With your beauty, I am awed
I dare not look upon your face
I am not worthy, I am flawed

You are perfect, in your symmetry
Your wings, are a span of glory
I am nothing, compared to you
Just a writer, with another story

Allow me to glow, in your iridescence
Let me float, on the wisp of a breeze
Carry me away to your distant lands
Over mountains, meadows and trees

I will take in all the wonders
That lie below the clouded skies
In the valleys, dales and canyons
Let me see them, through your eyes

You kneel before me, butterfly
Yes, to take me away with you
Letting me fly, upon your wings
It’s really all I ever wanted to do
