PAPILLION
(for Deena Muzzi)
I sometimes wish
I could for a day
Be a butterfly .....
A splash of colour,
A wave of joy,
For the lives I touch.....
To wipe a tear,
Heal a wound,
Reach out and caress
Hearts lonely and careworn.....
I sometimes wish
I could for a day
Be a butterfly -
Just a willow-the - wisp papillion
Eternal in Transcience.
