She is drawn to the sphere of light Like a moth to a flame, Tiny fireflies seem to take flight As an eerie glow remains She reaches out to touch this crystal ball Mesmerized by its glow, Her heartbeats rise and fall As she feels the energy flow She attempts to find its magic powers But its powers she cannot tame, Like a full moon in the midnight hour - She is drawn to it, like a moth to a flame. 3-5-2020 Picture Prompt Poetry Contest Sponsor: Brenda Chiri
