Emerge from the chrysalis, body brand new.
Discover a dazzling world to view.
Unfurling wings that, til now, never flew,
You flitter on breezes through skies soft and blue.
Then resting, you wait til the moon, shining bright,
Calls everyone upward in terminal flight,
All yearning to climb to its beckoning light
And mating just once on this glorious night.
And the you are gliding and fluttering down,
Descending a mile to your burial ground.
Exhausted and spent, now just crawling around.
A lifetime has passed, and your destiny found.
