Soul on Fire

Butterflies in Your Stomach

Like a dance

You made me feel

Each heartbeat

Like a swirling sky

Dancing in my soul

I go soaring high

Butterflies rampage

Like trapped in a cage

Unable to escape

The fire burns

Closer and closer

I feel the heat

Rising to the surface

With all of the words

I can't even speak

Just like a hand

Has captured my voice

To sing a song

Without the ability

To even peep

I have fallen

Into the vibrant flames

In hopes that one day

I could be saved

About the Creator

Kayton Hickenlooper

I write to clear my mind. To get out of the fog of daily confusion. An artist by heart. To live, laugh, and grow.
