we put our hearts to the sky like butterflies soaring hope
we are still those same butterflies
perhaps needing cocoons for a moment
until we find our flight again
grateful for every beautiful soul and friend finding here
may peace be within, with and find you, always

Threw over the bars of his screen

And it grew to a miniature green.
Sometimes when my troubles come up in a mass,
And fate a new sorrow doth send,...
