This poem explores our crossroadsβ€”the times when we experience cosmic shifts in our perspectives of life and are ready to embrace change. Truth is hidden beneath a moth's dark wings and slowly surfaces.

Rouse what's beneath dark wings.

πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰

Dark wings

Flutter at dusk

Flittering to the end

Light breaks water, almost before--

It leaves.

πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰

It leaves--

The pond stores the secrets unseen

Saved below the surface

Where eyes can't see

But wait.

πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰

Light wings

Surface for sight

Flitter to light's new glow

Unfurling their hidden glory

For all.

πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰πŸ§‰
