Moth
Bioluminescent beauty
I am drawn to the hue
I know nothing but the gleam
A pale moonlight blue
I flutter along
Floating on the wind
Enraptured in its gaze
This is all I’ve ever been
A curious creature
Hungry for a path
Maybe it can guide me
To a safe way home, perhaps
Before, I turned to the stars
I got help from the moon
But this light before me
Appeared so usefully soon
Convenience, it is
How kind to me it’s been
A guiding friend
Beckoning me in
Closer and closer
I fly into its haze
It bites and shocks and kills
And then I burn away
