Sing, Cicada. Serenade!
Randy Baker's prompt challenge
Whisper whisper in the night
Chatter chatter
Tiny voices serenade
Of what matters:
Seventeen cascading years
Earth and air begotten,
Enigmatic life appears
Thoroughly forgotten.
Underground labyrinth -
To the highest branches
Velvety cicada nymph
In emergence dances
Sing, cicada, hymnal song!
Ethereal symbol.
Sing cicada all night long
Resurrection hymnals
Sing of winter in the night,
Everlasting slumber,
Sing of how you dream of light
And eternal summer.
Oh the things your hymnal bears
Your heart aching!
Seventeen longstanding years,
In the making.
