I saw a shimmering butterfly br fluttering in the sunlight br her wings a sight of beauty br filling me with such delight br br Fragile wings of golden silk br kiss my face and flutter by br delicate grace and beauty br a poise no one would dare deny br br Mesmorised I watch her dance br waltzing high up in the sky br flitting playfully petal to petal br a majestic sight to the human eye br br I lose sight of her for one moment br and wonder where she chose to land br sighing I get a feeling of sad loss br until I see her sitting on my hand br br She seems to sit there watching me br wondering what I am about to do br I raise my hand up to the skies br and let her soar to pastures newbr br Teresa Reckbr br
