Ashes of a dream

Behold the intricate wonder of the butterflies wings
as they play with the flowers while the bluebird sings
with wonderous strength the friendship begins
and with it is the playfulness of a new found friend
colorful dew drops land on the dream
beauty is nothing and everything it seems
the tragedy of friendship is often revealed in time
along with the joy and love, it stands in line
the moon and the stars form a bond in the sky
a dream is even wonderful when it is forced to die
although they attempt to hold on to the love and friendship that is slipping away
the tragedy of time and fate will eventually have its way
but they frolic and play as though nothing is wrong
yet the bird and his best friend the bee start to sing different songs
and though they swear with a child's heart to be friends forever
father time lets the promise blow away with the winds of change like a feather
until all that is left are the ashes of a dream scattered on the wind
and the memories of the times you had with the person who was once your best friend
