For Maeve - Moth
For Maeve... ‘Moth’ !
I am but a moth,
Beguiled by the light:
Your radiance a beacon
for attention: Now, I might
be speaking out of turn;
These words may sound undue.
But I thank you for the Brilliance
that shines from inside You!
So, I am but a moth
(No butterfly panache)
who just wants to fly so close
for his wings and yours to clash.
Though I’d never fly away
for your light is what I seek,
and the thought of seeing you
gives true purpose for my week.
If I was but a moth –
I’d flit from place to place,
charmed often by the light
shining from a pretty face..
But I’d rather be a Bee
with a sense of purpose true,
whose favourite flower each day
is the heart I come home to..
