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. Eighth Place in Your fave poem 2020 not written for a contest Poetry Contest sponsored by John Hamilton

We are tiny creatures attracted to a mighty Beauty and Light out of Love, veneration and awe.. heedless to a burning pain as we are shielded by the power of Faith.. What a great rendition! A stunning work of Beauty! A great delight reading your poetry, Jenish! My deepest regards and blessings.

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!
