Birds chirp on towering trees,
singing a song for my family and me.
We run and play through the glistening grass.
I then witness a creature so remarkable...
A butterfly dancing with elegance and poise.

As the sun sets and our energy escapes,
we visit Grandma and rest.
My grandmother’s strength decays.
She tells me about her dreams...
a butterfly dancing with elegance and poise.

Grey clouds blanket the sky,
sorrow fills the room and aches inside of me.
Strangers are dressed in black as they approach me.
They tell me stories, saying how my grandma was...
a butterfly dancing with elegance and poise.

The sun shimmers again,
air filling my lungs as I enter the vivarium.
Delicate creatures live in harmony.
Time freezes when I see...
a butterfly dancing with elegance and poise.
