Cocoon — so precious and matchless to me
Your shell — so whole, and so serene
Like green leaves to which you'd clung
Your heart longed for morning's song

Oh — such love, your soul did breed
Like an ebb tide in a gentle reed
Your vessel — an ageless photograph
Now just a glimmer in my memory

But in the by and by — of a fresh, Spring day
And warm sun lends her glowing rays
Along tree branches and new green leaves
Cocoons — like yours — reminisce of thee

So timeless — your shell remains
As an echo of your soul
Like the life light in our eyes
Like ocean tides come and go

As time revolves, yet another day
My shell, too, shall come to pass
Like time's endless sands of grain
Passing thru an hourglass

So spread your magical wings and fly
Beyond all that you've seen
Fly free, my beautiful butterfly
To the rainbow of your dreams
