Butterfly Bliss

A Butterfly

A butterfly came into my room
And the drab walls began to bloom,

It lent colors from its wings
Even to my most mundane things.

I felt rainbows sprouting all around
And also heard a strange and faint sound

Was it the whisper of that butterfly
Conveying a message from the yonder sky?

It flew away to become a dot of bliss,
Yet I felt its parting kiss.

It has gone but I still hear
Its mysterious song in my ear.
