La Luna Plane
Ode to the Luna Moth
God's miniature jet
I found you one morning
After the day before the rain
you'd landed on the concrete
you almost seemed lifeless
And cold to the world
Your delicate outstretched wings
Shimmering off the street lights
Your delicate antenna so lithe and frail
Your picturesque beauty
Shades of light green and yellow
Like you could have been painted
More like a picture to be framed
Then a moth to go aloft
To Soar above our world
The spots on your lower wings
To reflect a image to ward off harm
Distinctly I knew it was you La Luna
How long had you been outside
On that cold lonely concrete
Would you rise again
And be heavenly bound
Quickly with gloves on
As not to tinge your wings with oil
I placed you near the warmth of the house
To allow your life being
So marvelous you are La Luna
So mysterious as you fly the earth
Almost to the clouds
For in mere moments
As I watched you regain your warmth
Your wings beat again
Your body vibrating
And shaking to stir
As you set on my flower pot
Then into the dark sky
Like a jet roaring
For a take-off
Towards the moon
And the sea to more
Adventures ...you were gone
With a blur.
(Dedicated to the Luna Moth the night I witnessed it take off at 4:30 AM on a cool April morning)

Post a CommentHappy Memorial Day friends and contributors!!! Of course you know Mr. Chip's loves all creatures Great & small so today on this beautiful Memorial Day I found a wood colored giant silkworm moth in our driveway it just looked like a motionless brownish leaf. I am glad our car did not send it to heaven (lol) it is now in our moth & butterfly mesh,collapsible terrarium. Where we will release it tonight according to how the weather holds.
Look around if you have not seen a LUNA moth and so on they are here or are on their way. Give them a hand if you can, put them in a safe area to rest not too hot or cold let them rest and let them fly on their way.
On a side-bar for those who like to stay in physical shape or are fans of bodybuilding another story about my good friend former Ms. Olympia contestant & twice British BB champ, Mrs. Della Wagnon. I submitted it to YV last night just look for a title in ref. bodybuilder & businesswoman and Life on the otherside of thee Rainbow.
Salutations & God Bless You and yours: Your comments were very warm and nice. I hope if you have not seen or been visited by a LUNA moth I hope you see one soon.
Very Best wishes
Mr. Chip's in South Carolina
Thanks for placing me in that moment. Great imagery!
