Silence the Butterfly

by Amanda King
Copyright 2002 All rights reserved

Silence the butterfly as it flies through the sky
Softly is floats, waiting to die.
Try as it might, dreams have been lost,
The world grows cold, chokes through the frost.

Silence the butterfly, dark whispers in the night,
Telling your secrets, stealing your sight.
Watch it now, killing your friends,
The sun is setting, this is the end.

Silence the butterfly as it drips with fresh blood,
The raven crows, drowning in the flood.
It closes its eyes, but its all around,
Life is dead, no peace to be found.

Silence the butterfly as it smells the sweet flowers,
Patiently it waits, hour after hour.
Darkness is dawn, in this sweet butterfly,
Dawn is now dark, as you close your eyes.
