The butterfly

As the cocoon breaks
A butterfly that spreads his wings
Catching the sun warming his body
Drying his wings
Flapping, making the wind move
Lifting his body of the leaf that saw it’s birth
That is how I opened my heart
I spread my arms
Letting you warm my body
Let you in my heart
Making me move
Lifting our love to higher grounds
Carrying us where love and life may lead us
