i laugh at a thousand butterflies
as they pass over my bed
i dream a dream of memories
that are forever stuck in my head
i smile as they float on
further past in time
for my life is not to be with them
but to remain in mine
and as they go on existing
i will go to sleep
hearing the sound of fluttering
while i just lie beneath
although they remain close
i live my life to breathe
only what Earth has given
discerning is the key
i know that ive chosen
to stay level and not high
rather than mingle with those butterflies
that so easily die
so i will go on laughing
as they continually fly above
for in my life im experiencing
a greater kind of love
