A butterfly
Flutters By
A treat to eyes
No one lies
A treat for me
No one sees
A feat for you
If you please
Gathering wood for a fire
The scent of earth
Damp moss and crumbling bark
A slight chill hangs in the air
I take a moment to watch the trees
Swaying against the grey above
For just one moment lost in love
I strike my flint across the stone
Look at you, how much you’ve grown
But still the same essential truth
I breath in full with tightened lungs
She opens me and climbs the rungs
Spinning like the helix wheel
Now I’m aware, beginning to feel
So I turn and walk away
And walking ever since I’ve been
Into the dark and unknown lands
Into the unseen shifting sands
