Jenish Somadas Poet Rhyme

Candle of Faith

I wish to love you, like the moth for the light,
Flickering your fire and ending on its heat.
I will shed my soft wings before your might
And embrace the grace, melting at your feet.

While the seasons refine, again my wings will sprout
And then with intense love, I will fly around.
Hear my little jingle, Oh! God I devout
If many lives given, on your candle I inbound.

John Hamilton June 18, 2020 at 11:21 AM This should be higher but contest rules state minimum 10 lines, I placed this one because I said I would place all of them, but it's good to read the contest rules!
