Butterfly Escort

Escorted by a Butterfly

Down the trail I’m in love

Dainty blankets

Cover one room, this room

Before me, before you, I’m in love

Whoever pressed the first pen

To the first book

Pressed so hard that I see it on todays page

Tomorrows page

And on

And on

And on

Lovely as can be

Humming lazily

If loveless feels close by

Take more breath than a sigh

We love you, we love you

Butterfly

Whenever my hands

Were the size of my thumbs

Covered in the mud

Born to be

Holding on

To this world

We come from the same home

Lovely as can be

Humming lazily

If loveless feels close by

Take more breath than a sigh

We love you, we need you

Butterfly

Oooooh oh

Feel the friendly nudge It’s from the earth when we are lost she’s been guiding us

I lately pick a fruit off a tree saddened by how it’s never asked for much

Generations digging up the roots they wouldn’t stop

And left us with a paved lot

Think about the grass

Think about the trees

Think about the oceans

All of our hands and our feet

Think about how we damage our home

And how we cage what’s free

Think about your loved ones

Think about eternity

We are all connected!!
