Chasing Butterflies

You crossed my path

and I followed you.

 

I watched you flutter

quickly through the sky

and stand gently on a flower.

 

Wings slowed to a heartbeat

as you rested for a moment.

 

When I reached to touch you,

you jumped and moved 

through the air again.

 

Such an elusive creature.

 

I couldn't catch you

because I wasn't meant to.
