“Butterfly in a world of your own
What will you do? Where are you off
to today?
Floating in between cars, hitchhiking through dreams.
With miniature shades to block the
sun from your eyes.
Be careful to avoid the passing cars
That you may not see coming
& the children that chase you.
Coming this much closer to catching you,
in search
Of how bright you’ve made their day.
Butterfly in a world of its own.
Do you know the beauty you
possess?
Shopping for orange & yellow
dresses
That compliment your wings,
Barefoot in the wind.
Often forgetting where you put your
purse.
Effortless & utterly flawless.
Butterfly in a world of your own
I too hope that your day is as golden
As you are”
― Kewayne Wadley, Mumbo Jumbo... I Love You
