Convicted Of Beauty

In view of an eclipse 

a tiger swallow lands 

captured by the dew drops 

following rules obeying commands 

 

bittersweet, heavy hearted 

prisoner of the rain 

traveling with the wind 

flowers rioting in tear stains 

 

locked up in history 

convicted of being 

born in your own time 

without conscience of meaning 

 

tears through the windows 

singing a sad song 

even the butterfly knows 

sometimes the rules are wrong
