Moth

Cradled in the underbrush, 
a chrysalis emerging 
a wide winged serpent, 
urgent and searching 
for a patch of light
behind a green curtain
so he can try to dry
somehow he knows its worth the burden

He may not catch somebody's eye
but in a moment he'll fly
in hind sight you might say he's broken
but i say he's bright
