Born one dewy day of golden morn,

Of tiny larvaed brain & soft wet wing,

Quivering damp upon petalled dawn,

Gentle Butter-yellow & without a sting.

Soft as dark night´s flickering candle flame,

A mere darting of golden dusk´s sunbeam,

Flutter by butterfly, light in colour & name,

Flittering & fluttering skimming forest stream.

A long lost song echoing on summer breeze,

Exit written on pages of moonbeam´s milk,

As unheard as the soft thistle´s elfin sneeze,

Of fleeting wishes, departing on wing of silk.

Kissing petals of lilacs & of the blood red rose,

You are but a satin whisper for just a single day,

On night´s encroaching, you sit in death´s repose,

Within petalled-folded wing, you bid farewell & pray.
