......Escape

by Clara Mae Gregory

Lepidopteran Heart
Sleeps within a green cocoon
But will escape so very soon
To Release her enVIE
on Light of midNight's Moon
Exhausting her last energy
In perilous flight,
She flies into the light

mothlike, I cannot help but fly into the light of this ode and come out the other side a better moth, not all all consumed but grateful for the warmth and respite.
