Nice work. How cruel it would be to capture a butterfly and not let them go to live on and the same would be true of a person.

"Hold me every so close
as I say goodbye"

I really loved this ending line. It really closed the poem well and I was moved by it. The entire piece is exceptional but that last stanza and that line there were my favorites. I adore this. You've done a fantastic job, and if you don't win something with this then there's something wrong in the world. Really amazing job. 5/5. :)

How ironic! you used the phrase Sands of Time! :)
