For a long time my life was good. I was happy, able to soar in my own direction. Then things started to change. I was confined, unable to move as I wanted to. Slowly, slowly for my own protection I started a web. Slowly over the years it grew. Soon it was all around me. I only had one tiny hole to see out of. For a long time I was inside my web. I couldn't get away. No matter which way I turned I couldn't escape. I felt like I was shrinking, becoming a shadow. Finally something happened. Maybe fate took a hand to help me escape. Whatever it was I was free again. The web was broken. Now I had to pull away the strands and be open to sunlight again. Its taking time but slowly the strands are falling away. When I am free again, what will I be? Will I be a bright and beautiful butterfly? Or will I be a dull and colorless moth? I want to be a butterfly free to soar in summer meadows. Free to kiss the sweet smelling faces of flowers. Free to love again. This time when I love let me soar with you. Fly in the summer meadows with you beside me. Touch the faces of flowers together. Let me be the happy butterfly that I am and love me anyway. I can't be in a web again! I must fly free, spread my wings and soar with you!
