Poem: Gentle Butterfly

Gentle butterfly

     A poem written that speaks of the delicate butterfly, but it is the gentle Native spirit that it speaks of silently.

a gentle butterfly
lies upon the ground
where strength once walked on
Mother Earth for faith was there.

the breeze to carry
her is no more a mighty 
wind bringing solace, healing.

beating softly,
beneath the clouds,
she beats her last
and her wings fold in death.

and the heavens open
to weep for her
for, in truth,
her soul is broken.
