milestone

53 7 7
                                    

I feel like butterflies

are bubbling inside,

my lips quiver upwards 

and I stumble backwards.


What is this I'm feeling?

Am I only dreaming?

This is so astounding

that my heart is pounding.


My paper boat floats, 

I take tidy notes,

my kite doesn't tangle

I have met no wrangle.


I've seen a rainbow,

right over the snow,

surrounded by stars

and king of the sky.


Soul lighter than feathers

but immune to harsh weather.

I have passed a milestone

and this view has my mind blown.


I feel like butterflies

are bubbling inside.

I do't mean to be sappy,

but I'm really... happy.
