Summer Is In The Air

Summer is in the air, 

Traveling by the sun

Whose warmth fills 

And caresses deep

Within each spirit.

If you don’t believe in change

You’ve never seen a caterpillar 

Who crawls on the ground 

Turn into a beautiful butterfly 

Who’s no longer earthly bound. 

The butterfly is free 

To roam the wild, 

Unexplored meadows 

Green with growth

Caressed by gentle winds.

His metamorphosis is complete.

Warm breezes propel 

Him higher and higher.

New freedom he finds

As he spreads his wings.

He lingers a while on a bush

Laden with flowers.

His multi-colored wings are exquisite,

Spread wide - 

Eager to take off again.

As I gaze upon the butterfly,

Gentle winds blow softly 

Through my hair;

Gracefully taking each strand 

To fall tenderly against my cheek.

Now that summer is here,

Change is the guiding force.

Our soul yearns to soar

Up high with the butterflies 

To embrace the blue horizon.
