Butterflies in the Rain Garden

I set you free 
into the rain garden.
Now spread your wings,
and fly above this earth.

Let my love be
the air you ride upon.
I feel the breeze
connecting you to me.

And rain may come,
but water nourishes.
And lonely winter
is but a resting stage.

As summer shines
on the rain garden,
we'll meet again
when flowers bloom.
