Butterfly

A flutter of wings that matches the tempo
Of my beating chest and my souls crescendo
Gently alight on my hand and see
This is all I want, I only need
One more chance to see your eyes shine
Like an ocean spray of mist so fine
My captured heart belongs to you
Even if you choose to break it in two

Butterfly
patterns of beauty
play across your eyes
Butterfly
Making flighty feelings
Unfamiliar arise

A blanket of orange covers the day
A pillow of blue on a hammock of gray
A touch that yet remains a dream
Oh how far away does it seem
From the hoped for reality
Of you in my arms as you whisper to me
"There's no way I will ever leave
Lest God take my soul, lest I cease to breathe"

Butterfly
Break from the
cocoon, take flight
Butterfly
I have just one chance
To get it right

A long road leads to disant lands
The journey makes its own demands
None of this happens by chance
It all begins with one small glance
The effects are clear to see
Like the wind that fell at tree
You're step of hurricane
And now my darkness as been slim
