flight of the butterfly, rising free
Beyond our highest thoughts
Over all we could understand
Beyond all comprehension
Spreading across the land
Rippling waters flowing
Glorious light streams
Touches the growing heart
And the river below
Breathe in the warmth
Of a day granted to all
Alive in the waves
Of a moment of life’s grace
Rippling hearts sowing
Light and water and love
Touched by the day
Divinity rising free
