fluttering rainbows
dance in delight,
like iridescent moths
encircling a light.
whimsical towers
that lean in the dark.
hungry, young canines
that sing with a bark.
I wish I had time
to witness this sight.
my hours are fleeting
and I’m done with this fight.
colorful flowers
glow decadently,
behind a façade
they cry silently.
bring me an umbrella
to fend off the rain.
a butterfly dies
to end all the pain.
