Moths are drawn to light
and so am I,
wings awave against
the darkened sky.
Free to fly yet
bound by naked need,
anchored to a source
I can't concede.
Moths delight in light
and so do I,
seeking shining answers
to my Why.

(I fear, sometimes, to meet
their tragic end
and pray the light I choose
is proven friend.)

Oh the questions of life…..We discover that we find the answers as we draw closer to the light. I like your analogy.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I visited, but I see you still have a magical manner with words!
ReplyDeleteJust another very lovely and reflective poem. You are the best.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs for you!
I think the older I get, the more I need that light. I don't like feeling my way along in the dark - it's too confusing. The closer I can get to that light, the more calm I get, and the faster my questions seem to get answered.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am drawn to "light" too. I think many of my whys won't be answered in this lifetime. :)
ReplyDeleteOne is attracted to what is bright and shining.It exudes energy that is the bonus to derive from. Very true Sue!
