Love Planted

Flowers now bloom inside my soul
A vibrant garden planted by a butterfly
Her wings bearing love’s seeds
To grow in stony ground

Bitterness was the soil of my heart
Nothing could thrive in that cold place
I didn’t care to ever love again

The butterfly took no offense at my rejection
She continued to come near
Joy surrounding in the beating of her wings

By coincidence or design I began to
Feel my vow to not love again crumble
My heart going from Winter to Spring

I never wanted to love again
But my heart could not resist
The flight into my soul of a butterfly
