flight of the butterfly, rising free
Tasting the sweetest nectar
Wild beast set free in me
Your beauty overwhelms my soul
Your fragrance fills me with great need
Sun shines bright this new morn,
Illuminating the small creatures' awakening.
Winter's time of sleep will soon cease;
Spring touches the trees' buds,
As my eyes look toward the brightening skies,
As my heart moves toward the power of providence,
As my thoughts turn to moments to come,
I am filled with the love that is our great gift.
As I move from monotonous days of dim,
As I find the strength within to stand,
As I am guided to the hopefulness of today,
I am filled with the joy that floods our soul.
As my mind turns to the comfort of trust,
As I choose to walk on in this new day,
As I risk the pain of defeat and pain,
I leap to the place of sacred and mighty grace.
As my spirit is stilled in the beauty of calm,
As I fly into this day’s ever-brightening skies,
As I walk through the divinity of heaven’s gate,
I dwell in the holy heights of one heart’s home.
