Your sweet, whimsical and romantic light does shine in this Haiku Paul. The imagery is so charming, imaginative and tactile. I can feel the soft flutters of a thousand pair of silken wings as I read your glorious poem. Beautifully breathtaking.. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Hi Olive_eloi! Thank you for your comments. Many moths are beguiled by flames and fail to take heed of the dangers that exist. / paul

Thanks Kelly. In our hot Maltese summers I often sit out at night watching sights like this in my garden. Then in the end I turn off the lights and watch the starry sky before finally going to bed :) // paul
