A Love Poem

She stopped by for a visit, dressed as a butterfly, fragile of heart, soul of beauty. I listened to the burst of words flowing from her lips and felt the breeze of love brush against my cheek. So much is remembered in the heart, but lost in a veil of daily tasks. I smile at the thought of holding her in my arms and feeling the touch of her fingers in my brown hair.
