A Moment in Time~

Yellow wings

flew past

my eyes

I watched

in wonder

as the

butterfly danced~

A gift,

I thought

as I watched

the magic

before me

Sweet creature

flew too close

caught in the

draft

knocked around

dead

on the ground…

Tears came

I cannot lie

it hurt

my soul

to watch

a creature

of beauty

die~

Reminds me

we only live

on borrowed

time…

live

laugh

love,

Now…

Life is just

a moment in time~
