Butterfly that Flutterby

Butterfly that flutter-by
By Pmel Oki




Butterfly that flutter-by

with wings of mirroring charm

and silent singing of warmth

dancing in the light of the sun;

I long to hear

Your elysian hymn

that versatile melic, dear -

to the hearts of the aging

canaille

that happily tread

the mills,

forgotten have they of your will:

Butterfly that flutter-by

of grandiose beauty seen,

a Sandman’s gift

Of eternal bliss

that send our wish to Him.
