Echoes of a Chrysalis
She makes her way out of the cocoon
Spreading wings so bright, they shine like the moon
Unaware of her impending doom
Not knowing that she too will pass soon
She flutters around like a fickle-minded child
In search of flowers with nectar sweet and mild
Unaware of her impending doom
Not knowing that she too will pass soon
She sets her gaze upon another
One quite unlike any other
Unaware of her impending doom
Not knowing that she too will pass soon
She begins to plan their future together
Believing that it will last forever
Unaware of her impending doom
Not knowing that she too will pass soon
Soon there is to be one more
Excitement runs through her core
Unaware of her impending doom
Not knowing that she too will pass soo
She lays the egg and looks at it for a moment so brief
As it lies there in the moonlight, upon a leaf
Unaware of her impending doom
Not knowing that she too will pass soon
Three weeks have passed, she's become frail
Her once bright wings now are pale
Unaware of her impending doom
Not knowing that she too will pass soon
Noticing her rugged breath
With open arms she embraces death
Now aware of her impending doom
Knowing that she too will pass soon
