Butterfly Daydreams

Butterfly Daydreams

 

Butterfly Daydreams
by Karyn Indursky

Catch me if you can
with your butterfly net
as I dart raindrops in
chocolate marshmallow clouds
and dance with my
flapping autumn wings
(the color of orange flowers)
more wonderous than velvet rainbows
that tickle smiles out of you
as you realize
the beauty of freedom
and how I am
meant to be free,
not a caged butterfly.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Everyone is a butterfly soaring into various destinations and finding obstacles along the way, but we shouldn't have to encounter problems because of our markings of race. Let us all be free butterflies flapping our wings in our paths, where we are free to do as we please and be who we are.
