Butterfly

January 31, 2003 - the day of my departure for Japan... I was in the airport, while waiting, when I wrote this one... I was comparing myself to a butterfly for indeed, I am... Maybe because I haven't found my gardener yet.. - brc

I am a butterfly, I always fly away
You must learn how to please me or I won't stay
But take it easy, I am fragile!
If you grabbed me tight, I will peril

Be silent, be patient, just be calm
Open up your hands, I will come
But if you decided you want to chase me
I will leave as fast, then you'll be sorry

I love beauty, I love to play
You'll see me dancing, you'll see me sway
But I only need your appreciation
And not even slight of your impulsive reaction

My freedom is the secret, the very key to get me
A net-trap, a cage or even a jar will never be
But if you are the gardener, you might just be the lucky one
Who could capture the heart of the butterfly, or else, catch it if you can...
