My Purple Butterfly

A long time ago I asked the sun for guidance in my life
She said ask the moon instead he'll be better with your life's strife
So I waited for the moon to shine upon my sky
And I asked the moon to tell me why does life seem so hard? Why?

The moon whispered in my ear to listen to my dreams
For as silly as they are they will give me the answer it seems
So many dreams I've dreamt since then
But the purple butterfly kept coming back every now and then

The dream was always in the greenest forrest I have seen
And I walk around looking for something among all this green
Till I stand before the tallest tree reaching the purest clouds
And a purple butterfly appears which I keep following all around

Every once in a while this dream recurs
And somehow I find peace chasing my purple butterfly
The dream was full of colors and defiantly no blurs
But I forgot what the moon said till one day I felt like I want to fly

I didn't look for answers about my purple butterfly in books
I knew that the answer lies within me
So I took my time and inside me I had to look
It did take a while to read through my life's book

And then it came to me that my dream is giving me a simple message
"Change and make your own passage"
To be the purple butterfly I always chase
And nature is my peaceful place

So I changed the whole path I was taking
New life I have started and will be making
No more tears no more aching
No more content and no more faking

And now my purple butterfly is tattooed on my back
I stopped chasing it in my dreams but needed a reminder that change is good
To make me fly again when I fall off track
To remind me to stop saying "should or would" cause I found that I always could
