i am a butterfly 

i see the world from high above and the skies that turn to night

I fly across the empty places and dance across the filled up spaces

i fill the breeze that pulls me there and in it i may sleep 

for it may seem our lives are long but truly they are short and sleek 

for one cannot find beauty in a thing that lasts forever

 it is beautiful because it ends

and so i am a butterfly that one day soon will shatter 

I eat decay and it eats me while in the dance i sway

but for now ill be a butterfly and flutter flutter away
