Rainbow-Eyed Butterfly

Rainbow-eyed butterfly,

keeper of innocence and truth;

the rarest butterfly in all the land.

Appears in the dreams of the simple-minded.

Rainbow-eyed butterfly,

keeper of beauty and purity;

the loveliest butterfly in all the land.

Appears with the innocent child.

Rainbow-eyed butterfly,

keeper of love and peace;

the kindest butterfly in all the land.

Appears to the humble and quiet.

Rainbow-eyed butterfly,

will we ever find you?

Tranquility

Tonight I just want peaceful slumber.

No other thoughts to disturb,

no twisting, turning, kicking...

My angel heeds my cry, I pray,

and I begin to remember.

The angel who laid my head on his chest

in sweet protection,

and cradled me in his arms.

The angel who let me cry onto his shoulder,

and even wept, himself.

The angel, who gave me his still-beating heart,

and vowed we would never part.

His heart beats within me,

and our feelings mirror.

He lays my head down,

and I can hear the beat of his heart...
echo mine.

The Song Became

And the song became my soul.

Every harmony and melody,

every pitch and dynamic,

every note became,

a bit of my DNA.

And the song became a dream.

A dream of all genres,

a dream of musicals,

a dream of something from

Beyond, slowly to become.

And the some became my mind.

Let gladness win,

and I did.

Let it win your soul,

and claim it.

Silent Footsteps

Silent footsteps.
In the pouring rain.
Nothing left to lose,
yet nothing left to gain.
In a busy city,
the footsteps of the soul
are still so very silent,
and still so very cold.
The footsteps of a stranger
are so familiar now.
And that one single stranger
became a friend somehow.
Together we walk slowly,
footsteps silent in the rain.
To bring hope to a confused world,
ready to learn again.
