Butterfly Love

My love for you is more
Than just the flutter of butterfly wings
In the pit of my stomach
It reaches far beyond the here and now
Connecting us to the heavenlies
Bound in one Spirit
We begin to soar together
Yet still being rooted in place
It has moved beyond the curses
Of the generations before us
Taking care to return the coupling
Of two to our unitary design
More than just the moment, the time,
The pouring out of a feeling from the heart
It is a second skin
Covering all the gaps
Left exposed in places
Where old wounds can begin to mend
The flows of healing occurring
Time and time again
We may not always perceive to want this love
It is a heavy load; so hard to persevere
In the tumbling of life’s ever-blowing winds
The grip of our hands loosen in hope
They give up expectation that if they never
Let go, they could actually win
Running to find a place where solitude
Can offer a peace they can hide in
Yet, when I actually think about it,
And am asked would I trade it all in?
I can only say, if asked to do it over
My answer would be yes, time and time again
