Butterfly Wings

I spoke to you of

butterflies

Unknowing, – so

 unaware

that your feelings were the

Texture of butterfly wings…

Soft…colourful… and

Ever so fragile.

A fool -- I questioned the reality--

Instead of simply enjoying the view.

Wondering why,

and from where you came.

Not believing that I could be so blessed

As to see up close --

A Butterfly’s Wings.

For a Friend
