ODE TO THE BUTTERFLY

I open my eyes …
And stretch one wing
I am a butterfly who’s touching the wind
For the very first time …
What a beautiful thing … she says to herself …
The cocoon was so warm …
Now the wind caresses me so calm ..
Feels so good to be alive …
So many things to discover …
So many secrets to uncover …

And all of a sudden
She raises her eyes … the sun is up there
He smiles at her …
Come sweet child … fly with me!
She blushes, her heart beats fast …
She trembles and stumbles
Is this love… she wonders? …
And she abandons herself to it completely
The wings wide open …

With a beam
He touches her face
They both melt
In an endless embrace…

I want you closer …he says …
And she approached him with her hopes
Closer …
And she approached him with her dreams
Closer …
And she approached him with her love …

The wind took her little body …
And buried it on a cloud
Oh poor child … didn’t you know …? …
Great things in life
Must be approached from a distance …
