A Velvet Yellow

The Butterfly Memorial

SAY YOUR WISH

If your wish is your true desire it will come to you. 

I said my wish silently that a beautiful butterfly might want to rest for a while in front of me.

My deep wish was to see it completely fearless and feeling safe close to me.

I asked and prayed so nice that it must not move

for me to see the hair and color on its velvet wings

I asked and prayed real nicely for some days

that it might slowly unfold and close its wings.

Because for me that signifies true magic

I asked and prayed so intensely

that it would not move so that I could lay next to it 

for me to see his big eyes

My wish was to see a completely different form of life feeling free and careless next to me.
