My Destiny
Her wings felt as tissue paper
In my hand
She fit perfectly into the exact center of my palm
She was beautiful
A breeze blew and her wings fluttered
My heart thumped, a tear slid down
For a mere moment I had hope
The deceased to be alive once more
She was so peaceful; so serene
I felt calm
Even through this heart-breaking tragedy
She was amazing
The closest I had ever been to magic
Was her
And now she is gone
At the fluttering of an eyelash
Her colors are yellow and black
Spray painted by God
Her fuzzy body so very soft
Her intersecting lines were etched, as was her smile
She is lighter than air
Not a pound or ounce to carry
A signle touch means certain death
But she's already dead, so I don't worry
I hold her as her spirit makes its way
Into the heart of Butterfly Kingdom
She can fly there
My heart aches, the tears spill, but I want her to be free
I must let her go
Her spirit cannot be trapped
The portal closes
At midnight
So I say goodbye, farewell
To my little butterfly
I will keep your outer shell forever
I will love you always
Go with peace and love
For you shall always be
My Destiny
