butterflies
unsticking their wings and taking flight
as we wake
from the morning light
and city noise.


butterflies
swooping and soaring through the air
as we run
beneath a clear blue sky
to catch the train filled with people, again.


butterflies
dancing on cloud lines
as we sprawl out at
our wooden desks, in an office building,
while outside roams a magnificent evening.


butterflies
folding their wings back up for sleep
as we return to the grey place called 'home'
in a city filled with noise
layed out under an ignored, but beautiful starry night.


butterflies
begin choking on the world's exhaust
as we repeat
this endless cycle
we call our lives.


butterflies
wilting and falling through the air
as we go on
blindly
as usual.


butterflies
gone.


where are the butterflies now?
