As the cool breeze blows across my face,

I notice a lonely butterfly amidst the falling autumn leaves and naked trees.

It flitters and flutters about, not making a fuss,

Taking in its surroundings.

I notice its beauty and purity,

Wondering how such a magnificent splendour was created with such ease,

Its colouring is astounding,

The most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

I look away for a moment,

My concentration distracted,

But when my gaze returns,

It is no longer there.

Although I no longer know where it is,

I know it is watching over me,

Wherever I do, whatever I do,

And is forever in my heart.
