The title of the poem is equally drawing – that’s what drew me in 🙂
The below lines and last lines were the highlight for me.
“In the flapping and the flutter
the moth in a sudden came
to nearly burn a smolder
in his hide-and-seeking game”

Moths are drawn to light and play around. It seems like a little flirt with the flame, that may give light and burn us as well in the process, very much like our life stories. Last line of the poem added an emotional twist to the overall read. Thanks for sharing, Kira.

Sitting here with a cold wet wind outside
I would love to be sitting by your warm flickering fire, spluttering candle and floating moth

I did love the above lines. We are like the moth. The temptation of hope, the light. The temptation, of possibilities make us brave and foolish. I liked the complete poem and thank you for sharing the amazing words and thoughts.
