When Moth and Man Rhyme

A Time When Man & Moth Rhyme
A Moth's Drawn to Light,
Man Seeks Dawn in a Lover,
Both May Frantically Hover,
Neither Species Masters Flight,
As Balance Can Become Slight,
Circling & Spiraling Another,
Crashing Risk Danger from Such Height,
Beware Our Preoccupation Appetite,
Caution Advises "Incoming...Fight!"
What Magnets Attract Can Blight,
"Be Safe, Run for Cover!",
Abandon Says, "What's Natural is Right!",
"Isn't this How Dad Met Mother?",
Do  I Relax & Breathe? Or Be Tight?
For Moth or Man, No Clear Matter!
