Butterfly
Butterfly
Of the eternal question why
While you flit and fly
Oh Butterfly
Power to change
Knowing
Fear is the great unknown
It must be vanquished
To what end
Anger sadly fills the void
There is no possession
Only sharing
I come back to where I’ve been to see where I’ve gone
Memories, the pure euphoria
Simple playful happiness
I worship in the cathedral of the sun dappled forest
Just imagine that, the sun powers everything in our world
If we give her a chance to grow
Diversify and thrive
She has and would inspire
I love the long walk through nature
Wandering lost in the garden of nature is pure joy
My heart does sing
Tree filled parts of the city
Oasis of old vine covered cottages in the mature park
Twittering birds as my sound track
There are so many hidden gardens
Places we should explore
This is heaven right here and now
If we have the wisdom to see and feel it
Independently happy, but to share happiness that is very special
A peaceful soul with a passion for true justice
Nature rules, intelligence is built in, finding her in everything
Freedom to be just as I am
Tortured souls lost in the darkness
See the light
There is this great joy and happiness in simply exploring the life we have
Simple powers in our beautiful moving bodies
For the love of life that is our journey
