IN RESPONSE TO LI’S PROMPT-HIRAETH

Like the Luna Moth…

A poem about lost love

Eddie Fouse for Public Domain Pictures

Do you remember the Luna moth cocoon we found one sultry morning near Yellow Spring? A lowly caterpillar in a snug, silky wrap on its way to transforming into an exquisite, luminous moth.

And so it is with love, our hope that it will transform us. Sometimes I could see beyond the misunderstandings and the mundane day to day, the tender child, with a sensitive soul, shamed for your gentleness —

I wanted to heal your wounds, to wrap my heart around you, to make you whole, like the Luna moth emerging strong and ready to meet its destiny — if only you had believed.

Thank you RH for challenging me to publish a poem related to Hiraeth. I ask Lisa Alletson, Lisa Bolin Dennett Breanna Lowman Ell Benjamin, and E. Scott Alighieri to write a beautiful poem honoring the sentiment of Hiraeth.
