To Have the Wings of a Butterfly and Fly Away to Rest

I envy the butterflies, whose wings make them free

To soar high in the sky to many places I’d like to go.

But I can only dream and wish for that sweet freedom,

That would let me fly away and rest from my woes.

Places that water, sky, and mountains surround,

Where there are no tall buildings to block my view.

I would sit alone and stare into the distance,

Until my peace, solitude, and joy are renewed.
