She set out, across the desert sands
Gathering nature, with her hands

Not wanting to leave, any behind
Heard life on Earth, could be so unkind

Carefree, following behind her, in tow
Were butterflies fluttering, to and fro

Flowers that blossomed, on one side
The clouds, ablaze, in orange skies

Everything she found, was simply a beauty
Knowing inside, this was her rightful duty

To bring back all, they didn’t have there
Saving from humans, who just didn’t care

Though, left behind, near grass, was a tree
Which had no leaves, nor birds to see

Twas the only thing, she could not carry
Though try, she did, but to the contrary

The tree did not want to go, nor gather
So, it stayed in its own place, and rather

Didn’t follow the lass, from land to land
Hoping one day, she would understand

Why he had stayed there, in the blazing sun
Who’d tell about trees, if there were none?

She is a child of purest nature

A beauty, bestowed to the Earth

Among fragrant, multicolored flowers

Green grass, and butterflies adrift in the air

They dance for her, a ballet of splendor

Fluttering wings, their acknowledgement

They have captured and beguiled

Her applause, a request for an encore

And she smiles, with sheer delight

Out-dazzling the morning’s sun

There are ways to travel o’er this bridge

Come now, I’ll show you the way

I’ve traveled it so many times myself

I know it by heart, you might say

There’s an ethereal feeling, each time you cross

On the other side, things to astound you

I promise you, you’ll feel quite light

With the magic, that flows all around you

Follow me, my weary friend

Across the bridge, beyond the trees

Where carefree days and butterflies

Make for magical memories

They shine in the night, with beauty and grace

Iridescent butterflies, made of delicate lace

Like polished jewels, they glisten, and glow

Outshining the beams, from the light that flows

Dancing about, in a rhythmic flight

Over ripples of water, a spectacular sight

Though stripped of their colors, the moon does not care

Each night is delightful, when the butterflies are there
