she stood there like she had done every night
for the last three years
…alone...
in the endless darkness she shivered
in spite of the warm summer air
looking up the at the stars
sprinkled across sky like tiny diamonds
she closed her bright green eyes
she felt nothing as her thoughts
whirled into motion
…but....
what was so different about tonight?
opening her eyes slightly
she saw a strange glow
laying on the wet ground
a small lunar moth shone
a brilliant green
stunned, the frail girl scooped
the tiny creature up in her hands.
As the girl lifted the helpless creature
toward the heavens a soft wind blew
the creature fluttered against the gentle wind
...resisting....
the girl drew her hands in
…whispering…
"everything
will be alright....I promise"
once again she lifted the beauty up
…but…
a different breeze blew, even softer than the first
and once again the creature fluttered
…but with a will…
as the green moth floated away into the night
the small girl smiled for the first time
in three years
