| I would like to free you tomorrow to see you transcend like a butterfly over Autumn trees the confines of the heavy days. You, so far away, even though by now so near. Hear calling from beyond the void to begin a flight on gossamer wings to deepen the soul, in song and dream to harmonize with distant destiny. Rhapsody. I would like to free your heart to sail on delicate strength to find a way to parry turbulent swirls and swaying perches of grayest windy days. And stay behind to watch this butterfly soar. Because to soar, to flow with freedom, to carry on beyond today a beacon of light flashing from shiny wings to show lost mariners a way. ============================ by D A Johnson, 9/24/00 Copyright �2000, Daniel A.
