The Moth Beats Its Wings

the moth beats its wings
  frantically
  now elevating
  now lowering
  apocalyptically...
the candle extinguished
  what was that
     all about

As the saying goes he was Blinded By The Light. I like moths and butterflies. Nothing God has created is without purpose. Great stuff here. God Bless, JB

This poem has me worried, Gershon. You’ve obviously spent as much time fascinated by mothy antics as I have. How an ny man hours, worldwide, are being thus wasted? What marvels have never been invented because we’re all watching moths. ;-)

Well, I'd rather spend my time with butterflies, truth be told. Take care, Terry. :) gw
