Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

Circling the Flame

The fluttering moth circled the flame

Enraptured it seemed, lost in the game.

The closer it got, the faster it flew

Unaware of disaster, if only it knew.

Irresistibly bright, too strong the draw

Couldn't pull away, just wanting more.

Then in an instant, whilst in glorious flight

It met with the flame, became one with the light.
