In the hot afternoon sun br They seemed eager to run br And cast a glance to each other br Remaining silent and closer... br One was bright in its yellow colour br The other soft in its light blue br One was sweet as a lover br The other... kind and true. br 'Could you come nearer, please? ', br The yellow one echoed. br 'I've got one wing diseased...', br The blue one complained. br 'Close your eyes, see how I feel, br A loving daffodil...' br 'Right. Now we both can fly! ' br Thus spoke and smiled the blue butterfly.br br Maria C.
