Those nights, she fed me to sleep,/

day after day, the moon rising,/

and setting, and waxing--whirling, over the months,/

In a slow blur, around our planet./

her lovely stance and disposition,/ warm and comforting, the hug sent me to a place that I/ once knew while feeling her against my future.

"....from the other town--which lay within a place, within far away."

We witnessed them in their cocoons,

2024-09-10 15:48:51 UTC

Like a warm blanket wrapping around them.

I remember seeing them as butterflies,

watching all of them leave but one.

In elementary school, we observed caterpillars./ We would learn about how they grew and changed./ We witnessed them in their cocoons,/

Like a warm blanket wrapping around them./ I remember seeing them as butterflies,/ watching all of them leave but one./I never understood it then, but I do now./The feeling of never wanting to leave what /you have grown up knowing./ The feeling of leaving what you love.

" i Rember the moment where i wanted to be like the,, looked up to them, and followed in their footsteps"
