For Maeve - Moth

For Maeve... ‘Moth’ ! I am but a moth, Beguiled by the light: Your radiance a beacon for attention: Now, I might be speaking out of turn; These words may sound undue. But I thank you for the Brilliance that shines from inside You! So, I am but a moth (No butterfly panache) who just wants to fly so close for his wings and yours to clash. Though I’d never fly away for your light is what I seek, and the thought of seeing you gives true purpose for my week. If I was but a moth – I’d flit from place to place, charmed often by the light shining from a pretty face.. But I’d rather be a Bee with a sense of purpose true, whose favourite flower each day is the heart I come home to.. Martin x

Hello there Rainbow - I am glad you liked my poem. Have a lovely snowy time (my 2 year old daughter is desperate to see snow, but we haven't had any so far this year) Martin
