Day/Night
Open your eyes for me.
Sparkle and shine for me.
Purple on one side.
As deep as your pride.
Lighter on the other.
Pretty as they hover.
PURPLE BEAUTIES
flutter
THE KING
I sing my song on top of the branch.
I flitter and flutter to my heart’s content.
My feathers ruffle in the slight breeze.
I am king of the day.
All bow to me.
Until I fly away again.
TO HOLD LIFE IN YOUR HAND
To hold life in your hand,
How does it feel?
A little movement and fluttering
To tickle your fingers.
Antennas searching for sound
And wings seeking flight.
It leaves all too soon,
Spreading its wings in the light.
But you had life in your hand
For one precious moment.
