She Flutters By
Written by Oak McIlwain, July 4th, 2008   

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

She Flutters By

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

    This piece has an interesting motion throughout it’s visual element, like a dissonant, shifting dream.

    Anyway, what’s cracking? it’s wig.
    Haven’t spoke in a while, thought I’d drop the aforementioned comment, and also..

    next Friday is Killer Banana Curry night - I know it’s got you curious =p you should come on down.
    Send me an email if your interested.

    Anyho, Peace.
