The Blissful Moth

A creature of no harm and only beauty It has such in common with the human that can never be recognized The moth follows the brightest of lights seeking its true treasure Just like in human nature we follow the most beautiful things But we are imprisoned by the laws of reality to never touch the lights Just as the moths can never handle the light But we never learn to think differently and only to follow As if we see that instead of following the light we must make a different path One that is covered in the painful darkness and freezing sadness But if there is courage in that person who chose his own path Then the sun itself could never bring the light that will follow As the reward to being strong and faithful in the path they flew through So don't be the colorless moth that follows Be the moth to spread color and light upon itself Then true happiness will soon follow
