The Dragon's Butterfly

I am a butterfly

With translucent pink wings

Thin legs

Almost invisible

Easily injured

By a careless step

Or wave

I yearn to be seen

Held

Protected

Stretch out your hand to me

Let your palm be

The landing pad for my tears

Don't dry them

Let my tears

Roll off your fingertips

A waterfall

For the dry earth beneath

Give us time

Eventually flowers will grow

And blossom

I will grow

Too big for your hand

Place me on your lap

Hold me

Hug me

I am changing

Expanding even wider

We shift

I hold you

As long as you need

Even longer

I see all of you

Clothed and naked

I love all of you

All your shapes

Colours

Forms

Your ever morphing being

You see me

I am a dragon

Powerful, voluptuous, beautiful

With butterfly eyes

Full of sadness

Full of joy

I fly off

Spreading my pink translucent wings

Full of gratitude

Full of wonder

To what comes next

Peace,

Erinbell Fanore
