I can see the butterflies as they seemed to me: |
|
More colors than imagined; More colors than a dream |
|
I can see them flying oh so easily |
|
So like drifting bubbles caught upon the breeze |
|
It seems that there were thousands dancing through the air |
|
Now it seems they're few and painted by despair |
|
Memory can prove false or weave into dreams, |
|
But my life has taught me that nothing's what it seems |
|
I remember scaled wings; fragile shining blue |
|
They were pulsing like a heartbeat, a dreamlike ghostly glow |
|
Wings of blue flame deeper than the skies |
|
So like the sun's reflection shining in Death's eyes |
