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~
