Butterflies - of colors never seen amongst the trees,

rigid wings so beautiful uplifted by the breeze,

soaring like a flock of colored eagles in the sky,

living every childhood dream: the human urge to fly.

Leaping from the precipice, in raptured fear's dismay,

feel the updraft lift you as the planet falls away,

there amongst the Gods you count the clouds as closest friends,

screamed exhilaration - how you wish it never ends!

Drifting high above the nightly news and cell phone's ring,

shout your orders to the wind: the wishes of the King!

scowl at ants who scurry to their boxes way down there,

smile and feel the miracle - as you embrace the air.
