Flying to the flame <br />Attracted by the sight <br />Instinctively you came <br />Scorched in flight <br /> <br />You have paid dearly <br />Flopping and failing <br />Burned severely <br />A whirl of smoke is trailing <br /> <br />Passage is extinguished <br />At a moment of delight <br />Life is relinquished <br />Swallowed by the night <br /> <br />7/29/09<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/moth-and-flame/
