"a Butterfly's Story #2"

I wrote "a butterfly's story" (I posted a few days ago) when I was 16 and wrote this one that follows on from it nearly 10 years later, written February 2014, aged 25!

The dark butterfly flies gently by

Through a world of delicate things,

But still they shatter like glass fireworks

At the touch of her blackened wings.

God etched a perfect outline

But He just forgot to colour me in,

Life then took a black paintbrush

And inked me with illness and sin.

I rested briefly on a noose-

Hoping to make it right,

But God accepted your resignation

And I had to continue sadly, into the night.

I still flutter through your glades of summer

With every passing year,

The noose now a peaceful ghost in the wind

Where I'll always leave a shining tear.

They turn into pearls of light

Falling downwards in the hourglass of time,

Letters of my own resignations brushing past

That God has yet to sign.
