She's flying, flitting and fluttering... Lighting here and there Only on the tips of safe petals Longing to savor the sweet nectar Fearful of its call Darting, hiding then scurrying about Tempted to travel dangerous paths Where vigilance is futile And hope is a fragile perilous twig Where is the safe hearth For which a part of her cries Will it be discovered Before she dies or are the delusions an armor covering only spirits too pure and fragile to remain here... amongst those of us falsely labeled sane

Love ya!
