Butterflies died first
17 September 2015
.
Basking in the sun
Their wings shower of colours
Heart-wrenching beauty
.
Flying free in skies
Translucent against the blue
Like heavenly gift
.
.
Flaming wave blazed through
No trees withstood its fervour
As it scorched all souls
.
.
Wings transformed moth-like
Turning ashes in mid-air
Butterflies died first
.
We faced each other
Foetal position resumed
Time to be reborn
.
