Peccatum Tacituritatus

A brilliant moth to a flame,
inebriated by heavenly incense,
resounding silence forever tame.

Thoughtfulness within its name,
this quietly composed defense,
a brilliant moth to a flame.

Lawful wings shunning all blame,
blazing devotion so utterly tense,
resounding silence forever tame.

Fears creeping against a frame,
emotions clattering in suspense,
a brilliant moth to a flame. 

Fanciful flight breathing this fame,
friendship immersed in confidence.
A brilliant moth to a flame,
resounding silence forever tame.
