Luna Moth

Into a poppy field of stars
From a teeming sea of grass
I saw an iridescent luna moth 
Fluttering and chirping as it passed

Through the violet speckled night
On sprouting wings of green and white
Casting glimmers like a blazing sail
Tossing on a darkened ocean tide.

And as it dashed across the sky
It sang a message from the moon
In a nocturne of erratic tones
Filling all my senses with its tune

But the tune it sang to me
Was in an ultrasonic key
And I was left to wonder at the notes
As I stood beneath a boundless poppy sea.
