a yellow butterfly

you’re alive, you’re here, you’re beautiful.
maybe you didn’t know it, but you’ve been out of your cocoon for a while now.
maybe you didn’t know it but your brilliant wings have been sweetly dried by the sun’s healing rays.
maybe you didn’t know, but you are ready to fly.

you’re falling, you’re peaceful, you’re powerful.
maybe you didn’t know it, but your dainty yet strong wings will carry you.
maybe you didn’t know it but you’re a graceful mystery floating by.
maybe you didn’t know you could fly until you began to fall.

you’re soaring, you’re dancing, you’re captivating.
maybe you don’t know how lovely you are.
maybe you don’t know the wonder you hold.
maybe you didn’t know the hope you inspire as you dance through the sky.
free, wild, vibrant.

my dear, did you know that you remind me of a yellow butterfly?
