Butterfly

 

Like sunshine bright
in cerulean skies
you fluttered by,
innocence personified,
but ill winds came
blowing and bellowing.
Alarmed, you started
and flitted away.

I would have followed,
but your sapphire eyes
denied me, and I fell
into timeless slumbers,
my dreams memorialized
in every breath drawn
from an atmosphere
that you once graced.
