Robin Brown Poet Sonnet

Lepidopteran Luminescence

Upon the gossamer 
and zephyr’s swell,
A chrysalis yields 
forth its iridescent 
grace,
Transcending the 
somatic, earthly shell,
To map the ether’s 
labyrinthine space.
With membranous 
and variegated flight,
It navigates the floral, 
sweet parterre,
A momentary splash
of liquid light,
Embellishing the 
high, quiescent air.
Through short, ephemeral 
and fleeting days,
This lepidopteran beauty 
drifts alone,
A kaleidoscope of shifting
brilliant rays, 
To human eyes a miracle 
unknown. 
Then twilight folds its
fragile, painted wing,
A silent, brief, and iridescent 
thing.
