You Can't Keep A Butterfly Caged

You can’t keep a butterfly in a cage
Her wings need room to flutter
She is only here for a breath

Her flight may seem erratic
But she knows exactly her destination
Her wings take her to the one calling her name

With whispered wings she floats on air
Gently coming to rest on love’s shoulder
Heart’s peaceful interlude with beauty

Too soon it is time for her to leave
Giving a feathery kiss she says goodbye
Flying away leaving only a memory
