Somewhere in time

Somewhere in time

 

Somewhere in time,

Over a fire fluttered two butterflies.

They were fanning the flames,

Relentlessly from sunrise to sunrise,

Till the fire summoned their names.

 

Somewhere in time,

I’m lost in a land of graves,

So people say I’m no longer wise. 

But I can still feel the butterflies’ waves, 

And see the moment of their demise.
