Twin butterflies,
dancing in the
sunset’s gleam in
the heated breeze
they sway, free of
their cocoons now
they stray.
Farewell they bid to
a disappearing day,
earth, air, light, the
sound of the sea;
their charm always
a mystery.
Hues of the far-away
sphere, they float to great
heights, gather among
the stars and disappear
into the night.
