Barehanded I did try to catch
One lovely butterfly
I chased it long the ocean’s rim
Beneath a cloudless sky
The sun did sparkle through its wings
And amber was its hue
Its beauty caught me by surprise
Against the ocean blue
Then quick I stopped to their reflect
Midst flowers by the shore
Why chase and capture spirits free
Who live their lives so pure
I watched as it did playful climb
Into the dunes of grass
“Tag your it” it seemed to say
To blossoms lad and lass
Then I did wonder why I thought
Its freedom I would take
The beauty of this innocent
Who rainbow skies do make
Since it was meant to live its life
For all this world to share
Flying softly on the wind
So lovely and so rare | | © 2003 David Devaney |
