On the Wings of a Butterfly

~taken at Niagara Falls Butterfly Conservatory

Fluttering across the sky,

through the air with gorgeous blue wings,

the beauty I cannot deny,

what a magical exquisite thing,

visions blur,

time stands still,

once gone before now stirs,

I give up myself until,

nothing else remains to sacrifice,

everything is gone,

my soul caught in an unforgiving vice,

all emotion has been withdrawn,

on the wings of a butterfly,

that carry what remains,

for everyone who is asking why,

just look away from my unbearable pain.
