Moth to a Flame
Aug 22, 2022
--
Moth to a flame…uplifted
on wings broken midflight by
a love unkind seeking the
warmth of a bright future.
Yet what burns it more?
Do pyres rise higher than
the dreams broken wings held?
Does light cast shadow down
the lashes that flutter by?
Fear not what calls the
phantoms that shaped the past.
My heart will raze the wings again, but this time strengthening you.
