With every move, a graceful sway

The dance of butterflies, an artful sight

In the garden, they elegantly play

***

Their wings, a canvas, painted with array

A beauty that fills the heart with light

With every move, a graceful sway

***

A dance that feels like a grand ballet

A sight that awakens the soul's might

In the garden, they elegantly play

***

Their flight, a dance, that forever stays

A memory that brings pure delight

With every move, a graceful sway

***

In the sun, their colors, a grand display

A rainbow of hues, that excites

In the garden, they elegantly play

***

A dance that feels like an ode to May

A celebration of life's purest rite

With every move, a graceful sway

In the garden, they elegantly play.
