Watching, sitting still
Holding a breath
Such a delicate and fragile thing
Innocently beautiful and elegant
But so lightheartedly fickle
Always landing out of my reach
If I approach, you simply fly away.
But still I find you captivating
Lured by the intricate delicacy
By the silence of your wings
In a trancelike gaze
Waiting to catch my butterfly…
