The Butterfly Song ( a Poem )

I have flown from a garden

Somewhat like a forest’s eve

Mayhem shall not be dense

To hear the flock of falling leaves

 …………..

I have awoke from this long sleep

To start my fate to fly

Smelling those flower sweet

I will not let this chance to die

 …………..

So I go and spread my wings

And start my venture long

A lilt of faith it must bring

To end this undying song

 …………..

To see my world from here

Fierce winds are bound to blow

I wont stop fighting the fear

Even though Im struggling slow

 …………..

Rushing down by the serene day

It felt that time will come

Clouds will cry on the end of may

Yielding the natures palm

 …………..

I have no rule, to end this war

Of fire & rain within me

Or to ease thy pain on my scar

Keep holdin’ and let it be

 …………..

After the storm, there’ll come a time

That this war will soon end

That sun shall vanish all the rhime

Wounds will heal and mend

 …………..

Past a gale, I soon soar

Over a blue, a smile I see

Sure I did, to know what its for

Praise the nature. Imparts to thee

 …………..

So I began, exalted by the day

Could have started the night, meek and low

Coward I am but flown away

To chant the faults I know

 …………..

Life is indeed a story of faith

Of the things you have creed within

Brawling a mourn and all the hate

Be brave dont damn give in

 …………..

Th emptiness within me

I could have been broke, feeling the pain

Though future isnt that clear as I see

Will they heed the rain for me?

 …………..

Life was like moon that fades and shine

Like lilies blooming unstill

The soulful melody in the breeze of time

That lonesome symphony I have to feel

 …………..

Into nowhere could I dream

For a likely bossom hand

Should I rest thy soul, to calm may seem

To Gods which poured the sand

 …………..

Believing is like flying

To an ” unknown” paradise keep

I kept my vow to keep on trying

To seek thy strength on holding my grip

 …………..

I dazzled, blinded by a ray of light

Hoping to begin, on its way to end

So I chase death, I knew it was right

A solace ought not to pretend

 …………..

Time has come to pass and die

In God’s arms, blossom laying upon me

In the sweetness of heaven there I lie

The eternity was all divine to see

 …………..

Days are over fading really fast

And for me, death is not long

But memories will surely lasts

Til I’ve sang my splendid song

 …………..
