I dreamt of a butterfly once
with white wings
and a cheshire smile
It beckoned me
with slow flaps
I could have saw each flutter
It laid atop my shoulder
with knowing eyes
a forlorn smile
and she said to me
You wish to be free
like I wish to live
Oh my sovereign days
have a limit
yet you are immense
I know not why
you wish to be free
