Eagles and butterflies
This love is of some matter and concern
involving some responsibility
that is not easily escaped from,
since we can't escape from love.
Its character is fleeting like a butterfly
but at the same time soaring like an eagle
and can in no way be caged and fettered,
since the butterfly will always flutter out
and eagles without freedom are not eagles.
Let us meet and join up there while we are soaring
and leave out the limits of the mundane imperfection
separating us and keeping us out of desirable communication,
since our love is all the freedom that we have,
the wings of which are for the eagle's use and butterfly's
to keep us sparkling, soaring and enjoying
if not our mutual presence, then at least our mere existence.
