flight of the butterfly, rising free
Closer than comfortable,
Jake was excited,
And yet unnerved.
By her presence.
open a little window
in the wall you've built so tall
let my hope shine through
together we're not so small
break free from the bonds
timebombs from long ago
blaze set afire
burning embers
cooled by the clear water
today
set free
flood of tears
timeless fears
crouching in the closet
hiding from the light
yesterday's truth dies
today's hope takes flight
