A Moth’s Quest

Eyes of her are
The whys of cries
Never heard

She clings tenacious
With rapacious
Guilelessness

Caught in light
Beyond his flame
Flash-frozen

But silken green
Sheds moonbeams
Of reprieve

Such is so,
She still
Believes

Never tell her
She cannot
Fly

Or she will
Have to set
You free

Kari darling sister of my heart this is truly one of the best you've written. You're lines are always special this moves so smoothly and it's gentle just like a moth touching a hand.

Wonderful writing darling girl utterly utterly wonderful

Beautifully written, Karilea...
Moths are butterflies who fly around in their underwear!

I agree with Madame Chipmunk, except that moths are butterflies, flying around in my underwear.   Thanks.

(smiles) Sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I love moths and butterflies, they're so free and graceful and bring a smile to my face everytime! (kiss on cheek) May we forever be drawn to the light of happiness like a moth and the lamp! We all love you so much, sweet friend, such whimsical grace fills your words! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
