Leaf & Butterfly


a willow leaf

escaping

no

traped

around

surround

bars

voices echoing

thunder

she's claustrophobic

her heart beats

a shudder

a burst of light

she's not alone

there is a butterfly

radiant colors

to be memorized

unexplained

but a power

her heart is thrown

no longer fear

ills her

it's a foreign feeling her heart beats

at the pattern of his

wings
