Lepidopteron larvae

 

What a fantastic journey you have been.

Metamorphosed, beautiful wings I have seen.

Left in awe by what – from you I could glean.

Yet all I wanted with you !, was for life to be serene.

Ambulating upon this earth or to soar into the air,

it mattered not to me, for with you is all I care

to experience, to be a part of, to know all your fair

beauty, your fine mind, your time and to climb the stair –

way to heaven with you – not into hell will I stare

at all that – for me – was not kosher, not fair.

 

It now seems as though the Lepidopteron larvae,

a Monarch has become, leaving me by the wayside.

With me, she is finished, no longer wanting to play

and from me – it seems – she just wants to hide.

Not the adventure I wanted, not the kind of ride

that brings, this one, far from my ?, beauties side.
