May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun.
And find your shoulder to light on.
To bring you luck, happiness, and riches.
Today, tomorrow and beyond.

Truth never dies. The ages come and go.
The mountains wear away, the stars retire.
Destruction lays earth’s mighty cities low;
And empires, states and dynasties expire;
But caught and handed onward by the wise,
Truth never dies.

and have no one you love at hand
to share the happiness with you.

This butterfly has arrived,
I watch wondering
if it knows of its
new freedom
still holding on to a host
in a new beautiful
yet tragic existence
with three perceptions
of life in one world.
