Love Takes Wing

“Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.”Dolly Parton

Like a flash of startling color
like mystical midnight dreams
butterflies will materialize
from love’s pure heart it seems

like fragile fleeting fairies
this love-bound woman is the source
they flit and flutter dazzlingly
such a breathtaking tour de force

so frail and so diaphanous
such bold and brilliant wings
like true love they float on air
enchantingly beautiful things

they dart with such abandon
they dance more than they fly
so weightless — so very joyous
a lovers’s ballet in the sky

OH… don’t fret our lovely lady
she’s tucked tight and very comfy
she’s evolving in love’s chrysalis
to the butterfly she soon will be
