Butterfly in the room
Its gold and purple wings
Flirting with the ceiling
Circling placidly
It descends, same grace
It rests on the window sill
Real close to me
I can see its powdery wings
Its eyes that seem to stare back
Its beauty, breathtaking
Doesn’t move
Stares on
Its presence is venerable
Its communion palpable
I feel
I understand
Tells me not to worry
Everything will be alright
Flirters from the window sill
Now on my maps on the wall
Reading the map to go home?
Already?
Don’t leave yet!
I implore with my following eyes
Back on the windowsill
Briefly
Says goodbye
I open the window
I know its time for you to fly away
Thanks butterfly!
