Butterflies and Such
My friend, Caroline, wanted me to write about butterflies. I tried. . .

When you're all sad and blue
look to God to pull you through.
And when you're happy and glad,
keep those away that might be bad.
There's a time to starve, and a time to binge,
and on this quote, my head shall hinge;
for in the darkness of the light
the night shall seem less bright.

I've been up and down,
I've been round and round.
And I'll jump that off that world
jump off onto another land unfurled.
There's a time to steal, and a time to give,
and for this, I will let another live.
Because what it comes down to
is what's true and what you should do.

Butterflies are soft and such,
and being so they need no crutch.
The stars are perfect, just like us;
forever in our midst lies a hazel dust.
There's a time to loathe, and a time to love,
and on this I rest faith on God above
for no sooner shall we die
than the sky will open bye and bye.

The days are bright and dark,
fires always end in a spark.
Life is a gift unlike any other,
much greater than a silent lover.
There's a time to make, and a time to break,
and to this I shall rest my case, and forever shake
the foundation of this Creation
in the mind of my imagination.
