The butterfly dances in the light,
From dawn till dusk, a pure delight,
The moth slips through the velvet night,
In silent grace, both take flight.

The butterfly dances in the light,
As time ticks on, wrong or right,
We find our way, through dark and bright,
Life’s journey marked by wings in flight.

The signals of time, tick and tock,
The butterfly dances in the light,
Guiding our steps, like a sturdy rock,
Through shadows deep and mornings bright.

Light and shadow, day and night,
The butterfly dances in the light,
One gives warmth, the other respite,
A perfect balance, black and white.

The butterfly dances in the light,
In winds that shift, fierce or slight,
We’re carried forth by unseen might,
Through seasons change, and stars alight.

Both start as caterpillars small,
The butterfly dances in the light,
Transforming within, to answer the call,
To spread their wings and reach new height.

The path of change is rough and steep,
The butterfly dances in the light,
In every tear and laugh we keep,
Life sings us forward, dark to bright.

The butterfly dances in the light,
Through ticking clocks, day and night,
Each flutter brings a truth to sight,
That we grow wings, by taking flight.

In cocooned dreams, it waits alone,
The butterfly dances in the light,
Breaking free when time has grown,
To grace the sky, a dazzling sight.

Life is a journey, step by step,
The butterfly dances in the light,
Each change we feel, each choice we’ve kept,
Guides us forward into flight.

The butterfly dances in the light,
With every day, new wings ignite,
Through sun and storm, wrong or right,
Our paths unfold, in colors bright.

From dawn till dusk, a pure delight,
The moth slips through the velvet night,
In silent grace, both take flight.

The butterfly dances in the light,
As time ticks on, wrong or right,
We find our way, through dark and bright,
Life’s journey marked by wings in flight.

The signals of time, tick and tock,
The butterfly dances in the light,
Guiding our steps, like a sturdy rock,
Through shadows deep and mornings bright.

Light and shadow, day and night,
The butterfly dances in the light,
One gives warmth, the other respite,
A perfect balance, black and white.

In winds that shift, fierce or slight,
We’re carried forth by unseen might,
Through seasons change, and stars alight.

Transforming within, to answer the call,
To spread their wings and reach new height.

Through ticking clocks, day and night,
Each flutter brings a truth to sight,
That we grow wings, by taking flight.

To grace the sky, a dazzling sight.

Life is a journey, step by step,
The butterfly dances in the light,
Each change we feel, each choice we’ve kept,
Guides us forward into flight.

The butterfly dances in the light,
With every day, new wings ignite,
Through sun and storm, wrong or right,
Our paths unfold, in colors bright.

The Butterfly Dances In Light

Take Four -- (the Butterfly) Dances In Light

I’m caught in this learning game,
searching for balance between joy and pain,
they drive me insane,
seeking truth, but it’s hard to obtain.

Joy and Pain haunt my dreams,
no matter how hard I try, they won’t let me be—
drowning in facts, too much on my mind,
but baby, I’ll find a way, just give me time.

Learning to love Pain and Joy,
letting go, I take my stance,
in this dance of emotions,
I’ll find my own advance.

In the depths of my soul, I seek truth,
through ebb and flow, error and proof,
Pain whispers softly in the night,
while Joy dances in the moon’s pale light.

The struggle is real in this quest,
but I’ll rise, I’ll do my best—
with each restart, I refine my art,
learning from mistakes, a brand new start.

Through trials and tribulations, I grow,
in learning’s symphony, I find my flow,
with each step, embracing the unknown,
in discovery’s journey, I’ve truly grown.

So here I stand, with heart and soul,
embracing the journey, embracing the whole,
learning to love in this cosmic romance,
for in learning’s dance, I find my chance.

Pain, oh Pain, the shadow in my mind,
whispering doubts, leaving me blind—
but I’ll rise above, I won’t let it drown,
seeking truth beyond Pain, to set my spirit free.

Through storms of Joy and Pain, I sail,
with resilience, I prevail,
navigating waves, escaping aftermath,
finding my path in the labyrinth.

Here I stand amidst chaos and grace,
embracing challenge, embracing chase,
learning to love in this cosmic romance,
for in learning’s dance, I find my chance.
