Another acrostic


Lest They Flutter By...



Flying through my mind
Orbs of egocentricity find
Outlets in the form of poetry
Drifting words I once heard
Fleeting thoughts, ideas anew
Often come when least expected
Ready with pen and paper am I
To capture those wild butterflies
Hiding in a maze of memories
Onto my page they're trapped
Until lovingly tamed
Grouped together into lines
Honed and made legible
Then released again, reborn
