She is no longer afraid
Free now from the web
Heaven awaits her magic
Her lover waiting in trust
Alone with the stars at last, she unfurls her wings in the deep quiet of outer space, as she does so, her fears dissolve like mist around her. She is free from pain and the vines of the web that held her. Heaven awaits her transient magic. Far away her lover waits patiently. She is dusted in rich gold and crowned by his immovable trust. Their life is tragically short but real love transcends time and space and is immortal. The stars know the secret and pulsate in agreement. Butterflies are free. Accept.
