Escape

My poem for the chronically ill

We escape 
As butterflies 
In this night do
From their cacophony of sound
Leathery wings so delicate 
They fly towards the light
Embracing one single second 
Of hope 
How similar is this situation? 
Every day our struggle of pain
The delicate balance towards understanding and hope 
As we embrace change 
And 
The light of a new day.
