Moths and Moonshine
Moths and moonshine mean to me
Magic -- madness -- mystery.
Witches dancing weird and wild
Mischief make for man and child.
Owls screech from woodland shades,
Moths glide through moonlit glades,
Moving in dark and secret wise
Like a plotter in disguise.
Moths and moonshine mean to me
Magic -- madness -- mystery.
~ James Reeves
Have you ever seen a luna moth in person? I've been lucky to see one on two different occasions, and the image of those huge wings, practically glowing in the moonlight, has been etched in my brain. I agree with Reeves -- moths and moonshine do mean magic, madness, and mystery!
