Simplicity
Elisa
If I could fly I'd come to see you wherever you are
I would lie down beside you while you're sleeping
and with simplicity ... I'd spend a little time
just a little time with you

With simplicity, I'd listen to your breath
listen to your heart beat
I would be so near, we could push away the fear
I'd come to see all of your tears
I'd come to see all of your smiles
with butterfly eyes ...
And you would know who I am
and I would know who you are


the butterfly is an image i hold close at heart..
for the surreal beauty it becomes from a weak insect,
for its patience in waiting to become that beauty.
for its erratic yet graceful flight..
