Moth's Emblem

You are a nocturnal creature A metaphor of mental picture In the absence of moonlight Man-made is your recourse Symbolism of intuitive feeling Dreams and inner knowing Through the darkest hours Shows faith and intentness The risk of losing its life Even so, is ever vigilant To lead its path of light Remind us not to fall A victim of blind faith Yet she is attracting Powerfully strong Lives on and reign In matters of love The art of subtle allure Can be learned as cue A master of disguise Is an emblem to blend And be able to learn To adapt the environment
