What should I Name this ?

Hey, why did the earth hide you this long ?
Today I’m lucky, I saw butterflies, I admire
their fragile dance with the wind.
Looking deeper, I found a secret art. Everyone can see it, but nobody is questioning the mystery behind it
a painting born from an unseen canvas.
As it drifted away, I didn't get a chance to ask it of it mysterious beauty
Then you appeared a greater masterpiece than the one I saw first
Immediately, i knew the butterfly I saw came
to welcome your presence .
You must be the master
of this sacred painting who ever sees it wings,
for in the swift grace of your steps
and the scent of your mystery,
I see the alchemist’s work.
My eyes have forgotten their purpose,
except to look at you amazingly —
a walking art that escaped the canvas,
too perfect to be kept in silence.
Even the sun pauses to watch you,
so it may kiss the masterpiece.
Now you’ve left me with the night,
and the moon whispers softly,
trying to describe you —
if she even remembers who you are.
