On butterfly wings

you open my eyes to beauty of wings

the sky is a wonder of light and wings


draw over my sadness with whiteness of snow,

my fears with fluttering of bold black wings


how the rain pours over wild forest-

spring will arrive, blazing, bagful of wings


paint the long summer days with bright orange 

& yellow, symmetrical, silky wings


when autumn arrives, give me grace to fall

chest thrumming to wind's spell, breaking my wings
