Butterflies

And the butterflies danced around me
Fluttering, spectacular colours through the air
Flitting and floating, wings in unison
As they pass through this garden so fair

I longed to fly away with them
To spread my magnificent wings
I longed to disappear from that garden
To a place where happiness sings

Oh how my heart ached to watch
As those butterflies danced in the light
Oh how my soul cried out in vain
As those butterflies left me in the night

But see now! The Moon is arising
My old friend, come to shine down so fair
My longing to fly and be free is abating
As my friend hears my pleas in the air

The wounds that were aching inside me
Are filling with the silver moonlight
The light that is healing and eternal
Like love, it is my divine right

Soon the butterflies will come back dancing
And fluttering around me in my garden
And soon my heart will be whole once more
And my past mistakes I will pardon..
