Butterfly

There are certain things that never disappoint,

There are certain lessons that,

Once learned,

Leave a lasting impression.

Power gained from knowledge.

Comfort gained from a red, woollen blanket.

Present a butterfly with a flower,

Effort, minimal.

Price, acceptable.

Appreciation is your reward.

These characters are never enough

For every feeling

Every thought

I could never sum it up

‘I love you’ is not the same followed by colon, dash, close bracket.

Or maybe I could vocalize the Vocalise

Tell you the purest things with the purest words

With the help of a Cello

Maybe it would be better to present a butterfly with a flower.

Big old wooden trunk, trellis of Roses, one of Ivy

(kept well maintained, it shouldn’t damage the brickwork)

Wooden flooring, rugs, fireplace, sunflowers and a blueberry bush,

Wine and whisky, Samson and Delilah.

The pitter-patter of tiny

Paws

So, I may not do it often enough,

But when I present a butterfly with a flower,

It means

You know what it means.

Por Ti Volare. Literally.

There are certain things that never disappoint.
